I'd say you've little chance of finding a good one now! I booked mine weeks ago! I'm going to the Galway Study Centre with a few mates. One of our friends rang today and they said it was hopeless, COMPLETELY booked out. She rang around and everyone was full! You're best bet now is one of those seminars or grinds!

honeymonster

damnyanks

The Institute of Education Intensive easter revision course is what you're looking for, better be quick though.

I'm signed up for the Physics 2nd weeks course there. I've only heard good things about it and its based in Leeson street so its easily accesible.

Not quite. I just got an extremely comprehensive revision of the entire physics course.

Teachers there are the best, if PHB sees this thread he should confirm this. Maybe NeV too, I know he was there, don't know what he thought though .

PHB

I've done a lot of grinds there and I've never not learnt a hellof a lot in the classes.
What exactly is your problem, cause if you have one you should probably tell otehr people not to waste their money on it

Jim

i dont understand why u wud pay good money to do the bruce revision course, its really ****e, the only reason i went is cause im go to bruce anyway and it was free.

honeymonster

I thought that the classes were pretty good, I learned more in that Irish class than I did in two years in me skool.

Dont forget me

PHB

Yeah it was Pat Doyle, crazy ****, brilliant tough
His stories are fantastic

Sangre

Did he tell you about the fibre optics which was a hollow highly polished tube, which was cleaned daily by a myriad of slaves

yeah he seems slightly insane but he's also an excellent teacher. The best teacher out of all the classes i took.

PHB

yeah, they all use the same jokes every time they teach it

I've done English grinds, with M Kelly, who is the best teacher I've ever met in my life.
I've done Maths grinds with John Brown, who is the best maths teacher in the country.
I've done French grinds with Sérge Berot, who made me go from 23% in honours french at christmas, to 47% in the mock. Keeping in mind I took up honours french in November. Absolutly amazing.

Hes my English teacher in school
I hear its a bit toned down in the inst. tho

I loved to sit in on one of his inst class, but id probably just get a ripping from him

PHB

Wait a minute, if you're in St. Micheals?
Is your name Andrew?

Omg, Wait a minute, how the hell did...........No

I think I know who you're talking about though.

PHB

Ah well, I dont like the fact that I know 2 people in one school doing so damm good
Once nobody else there did so good im happy, every school has some

I used to go there. ... its crap. Teachers are mostly crap and most of the people in there are tossers. But thats just my view of the hole.

Sangre

Ill agree with you that a lot of the people are fúcking mongs, with no grasp of personal property and are generally a bunch of wánks.
But if you're in the honour/top class for LC level they are definetely good teachers, I only have one bad teacher imo.

PHB

I find thats the same in our school.
The top two classes generally have to best teachers, with a couple of expections.

I like nearly everyone in my year

CuLT

I concurr, Pat Doyle was indeed quite mad, excellent teacher tho .

I think PHBs exceptions to the good teachers in our school however should be quite broader .

I'll just point out bad + H level class = Frosty, Fagan, Wynne
Good but does a low class = Plugg, emm... others.. BAH! .

OK, myself PHB and NeV did the second week of physics... were you guys in the same week?

Sangre

NAh I did Section A first week.

CuLT

, also, why is your post count not going above 1000?

[nicK]

done physics 2nd week

Boston

I heard he did the 48 lights in the room gag, and nobody looked up, then he mentioned it about 5 minutes later and one guy just looks up.

completely insane, but then the best teachers usually are, My JC maths teacher had a big wooden leg of a table he liked to call fred and carry around with him, it was his friend. that was untill we ****ed it in the liffey haaaaaaa guy was and is nuts, great teacher though

DSMe

Well , i dont know how u came to think that Pat Doyle is mad at all? i mean i was in Physics A and B for a week (pre easter) and he didnt come across as crazy or mad he just uses jokes that are somethimes funny but obviously well rehersed.
I thin that J Browne (the maths teacher) is the best teacher , he is extatic and very funny and definitly one of the best math teachers in the country if not the best. I had kelly aswell ... also very funny , not afraid to take the piss out of previousl students english answers.
