    Remote invigilation- worked well for the accounting exams apparently

    Knew a particularly clever bloke who once managed to get around this. Something to do with an ear-piece and morse code.

    You're essentially "locked in to the exam" on your computer, webcam and mic on and an invigaltor per "room" who watches candidates etc

    Hopefully common sense will prevail when the government finally realises we have next to zero deaths nearly every day for the past few weeks and focus on a strategy that's sustainable in the long-run rather than heavy-handed and draconian restrictions that might end up doing more damage with the thousands of businesses being crushed and a substantial portion of the working population losing their jobs and livelihoods.

    To be fair though this thing takes about 4 weeks to kill people. So, based on our previous case to deaths ratio, 9/10 of the 190 people who are positive today, will be dead by the end of next month, so zero deaths today doesn't really matter.

    Well this is exceedingly bleak.

    Happy Tuesday all.

    If this was the case, then we could expect to see a marginal tick or increase in hospitalisation rates coinciding with the increase of cases in the last 4 weeks or so. Deaths are a lagging indicator, but hospitalisation even less so.

    We've seen the exact opposite actually. Less than 20 in acute situations at hospitals, a whole 7 people in the entire country with suspected covid in the ICU. The number has been going down if anything. You'll notice that our genius public health officials decline to mention this figure of course. It's much harder to frighten people when you mention that the vast majority of positive covid cases are completely asymptomatic.

    Adding to this, the new restrictions are confusing and have managed to confuse everyone including our Taoiseach. Compliance will inevitably be low and I expect a lot of people to just ignore them.

    I think people are also forgetting that just because we’re spaced with masks on does not mean the virus is not airborne or able to travel as studies have shown. Unless people are masked, gloved and goggled, it’s not safe. I think it was reckless of the law society allowing them to go ahead. There were people who had traveled from the midlands also there , no doubt about it. Reckless, reckless, reckless and I feel worse for attending.

    Many people, particularly a lot of girls, were not wearing masks while standing right next to others looking at notes. It is reckless and they are quite clearly poorly prepared. They barely answer the phone or respond to emails anyway, god help us if they do have to organise this going online or not because they'll struggle regardless.

    By the way, this might be a silly question but what happens if you need to go to the toilet at home during remote invigilation? I mean, you gotta go you gotta go. But sure you could easily have your notes dead in front of you, or in another room while you "pop to the toilet"

    You gotta bring the carton inside the room with you. Do the thing right then and there.

    I sat the exam in Cork and there was no regulation of masks.. multiple people went into the exam hall with them on and then sat the exam with them around their chin. I know some people may be exempt from wearing them but as they had them around their chin I doubt they were in this category of people. Very frustrating to be worrying about this when also in the stressful environment of an exam

    Interesting! I am currently conjuring up ideas which range from buying a laptop with no webcam, or having my notes on a wall like some sort of American detective show!

    Are we allowed to publicly post exam grids? If we are I could just post all of them now - I have no issues doing it - and it would save about a million people asking for them on this thread.

    I don't know of any reason why not and it would indeed be of benefit.

    I sent a mail but the inbox couldn't be found!

    I also wrote the same email to the FE1 section inbox explaining that the new one they provided didn't seem to be working.
    Have yet to get a response...

    Are people able to read the grids I posted? I'm getting a lot of emails of "requests to view", I thought I had it set to just show up to whoever clicked the link

    Would anybody be able to tell me the best topics to cover (thoroughly) for contract/property on experience or what they plan? I know all need to be done but some must be worth "skimming" over?

    Does anybody happen to have the March 2020 papers that they could possibly upload? The LS still haven't gotten around to it, shockingly.
