all geog students read!!!!!

sarahg_angel69

alrite...i no everyone is saying italy and seas for tomorrows (oh ****!!!!) geog exam....has anyones teacher told them this info too or the institute??? or is it just the students coming to these conclusions?????

andrew163

Mo mhúinteoir said to study basically everything for physical geography because they're sneaky buggers, and More then likely either Italy or France. France comes up virtually every year and Italy came up in the mocks. It's not a 100% certainty though....

Scraggs

went to institute at easter.... teacher said he could 'hear the dogs on grafton street barking seas/coasts'
and that he had ''strong feelings for''
*natural resources
*enviroment [kyoto protocol]
*eu enlargement
he also kept saying ''lets rock and roll guys and gals...'' which got extremely irratating after a while!

the 'tute teacher guaranteed me that if we did spain and france we were sorted, i didnt do spain in school other than as a distinctive geographical region within the mediterranean zone, but i feel its safe to replace it with italy considering italy didnt appear last year
don't expect any shocks, its the last year of the syllabus
also, the institute class ONLY did the sea in physical, i was never offered notes of any kind on glaciation, rivers, desert or karst regions. so i think its pretty safe to focus on that too considering it didnt make an appearance last year either!

Cianan2

I only really did Spain, but Ive been looking over Italy a bit, i need to do more!

sarahg_angel69

Bright Smile

Ive done rivers, ice, sea and all the tails....
france,italy and norway under core periphary and a third region....
the med as a distinct region....
problems of a core & solutions
problems of a peripheral (x2 mezz&northern norway) and solutions....
have to go over fieldwork and look at mapwork...
Am i fully covered now is my question?!

avacado

does ne1 have notes on core n periphery in france r spain?

upmeath

has to be taking the piss, they dont even ask questions on britain, never mind west african countries.. ever!

sarahg_angel69

im actually pissin myself here at that poor fool who learned (???????????) nigeria!!

Creamy Goodness

anyone know what are the chances of both rivers and glaciation not coming up?

sarahg_angel69

could be likely!!! rivers and glaciation both have come up on their own out of seas rivers and glaciation..........................the sea hasnt!! could be its year!! learn the sea mate!!

Then...you had...Mr. Campbell! I had him for economics all year there, oh I loved him - he reminds me of Ross Gellar from 'friends' when he's a teacher!

sephirosis

is there much of a chance that a regional division actually WONT come up? i know its the last year and all but still they might decide to leave it out like (i think) in 2003. i know if it doesnt come up a core/periphery surely will, but most prefer division.
im working on the basis that it will appear so im doing italy and norway (and looking at some of the posts here, probably cramming spain tonight). ill probably do coasts best, then look over map and field. am i limiting myself too much? any part of the paper being different to what i expect could be fatal :rolleyes:

avacado

dey say u shud learn
1 med country
1 scandinavian
1 western europe

instead of spain prob shud look over france or germany,

coasts is a near must

but still on d day u jus never no....

Droogie

What are the "mediterranean countries"? Spain and France are two right?

avacado

think only d south of france is inclded in med.defo spain n italy

Binomate

I wouldn't put so much into regions. It's way too hard for what it's worth.

Oakbark

Okay, i know this is a lot but to cover yourself:

Learn the sea, rivers and glaciation for physical.

Learn 1 of each region like avacado has said above, going in depth perhaps with core/periphery for italy

trishemurphy

i'm just doing norway natural resources and sea i'm good right just don't upset me and tell me i'm good

checked my notes its him! he was very cool and actually he does have ross-like qualities!!!

Is it really really crazy 4 me to be leaving out physical completly?
[except 4 photo and os map but not sure if they count as phys]

and what is likelyhood of a reg division q not comin up?

Cravez

Id say Italy or Spain are most likely to come up, italy being the more likely one between the two, we never did france so if you had france and italy learnt id say learning italy a bit more. But after looking over the paper on a few years it either give you a list of countries OR ask you divide a country into two or more distinctive regions into Core and Periphery regions with their characteristics. Our Geography teacher said to study either Coasts or Glaciation but Coasts more likely. If any of you are worried dont be, i find Geography to be one of the more less stress exams but if you do the above and if you have a field study question and revised a bit of your O.S map questions you will be fine. Everyone good luck and post back with your views on the paper

Lynibeth

When you say coast, what do you mean? *confused*

avacado

the sea

Cravez

Coasts would be the formations for:

Erosion:
1) Wave Cut Platform (cliff)
2) Sea Stack

Depostion:
1) Beach
2) Sand Spit

Only Study these, there is no reason to study the others because they will ask in the exam to do either TWO Depostion and ONE Erosion or TWO Erosion and ONE Deposition. The Other formations such as Tombolo are to short and you should write as much as possable, but if your stuck and you know the other landforms then you should write on them.

Binomate

You can choose yourself whether you do two deposition and one erosion or two erosion and one deposition.

genau, and acutally it doesn't specify at all. It could be 3 erosional features but it gives u more scope to talk about a feature of deposition

love_the_chocol

Okay so ive gone over coastlines and glaciation really well, regional division of spain and role of the sea, am i foocked or doin ok???????

avacado

sounds like ur doin grand,i just learned d same as u part from i did france aswell

love_the_chocol

Yes theres the problem there, i dont know france or itlay, im foocked, completely and utterly foocked. Ill be the one sittin in the exam hall cryin askin myself why i left my study till the night before!!! Yup that will be me

Rredwell

The Mediterranean countries are Italy and Spain.

My own suspicion is Natural Resources in Q5, Coasts and Sea in Q2.

Anyone want to place any crazy, last-minute bets on what county the twon on OS will be in?

randomfella

westport or killybegs

Rredwell

Are you only saying that because they are 2 of the maps supplied with New Aspects 1? Though having said that, I was delighted when Killarney came up in the Mocks - it was the first map we had studied (from NA1) in 5th year!

I started a thread about this earlier and it went unnoticed!
I reckon seeing as south leinster/midlands (Carlow 03) munster (Kinsale 02) and Connacht/Ulster (Ballina 04) have come up its time to see something either in the north midlands (eg. Cavan, Navan (imagine Nobber on a map... hilarious!!!)) coastal northeast (ie louth coast) or coastal southeast, maybe rosslare, new ross, or waterford...
Or I could be completely wrong and we'll end up with a lovely map of the bog of allen and having to discuss how the topography influenced the development of infrastructure there (there's a road between prosperous and clane in kildare that's PERFECTLY straight for no less than 16 kilometres, i've been on it!)
now that i've covered all options ;-) im going to settle and back a meath/cavan map.

tara_mac

our teacher said spain italy and the med as a distingt region and seas are all a must learn


after that i dunno thats all i kow and i want an a oh well
