Need Help re: Compensation

irisheagle

Ok I'm a first year Arts student doing History, Sociology and Law. I have decided not to do Law next year but carry on with History and Sociology. So in my Christmas exams I got 36% in Tort and 52% in Contract. In History I got over 70% in both modules and in Sociology over 60% in both.

I just seen this on the NUIM Exams Office website

''In First-Year Arts, students may pass by compensation by passing two of their subjects, obtaining at least 35% in their third subject and obtaining at least 40% on aggregate, provided that the two subjects are compatible in 2nd year. Such students may only continue in 2nd year with subjects in which they have obtained at least 40%, hence students cannot pass by compensation in a subject that is a requirement for the second year of the programme''.

So if I pass both law modules this semister, and keep going well on the other two subjects I won't have to repeat Contract Law in August?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

With those law exam results, you should pass by compensation. Unless there is some awkwardness re: it being a compulsory module (but that doesn't tend to happen in first year). Should be grand!
