I corrected LC Hons English a couple of years back, and they were separated at that stage.

I actually agree that keeping them together is a better idea though ...

For what? Discussing that the exam has been leaked? Telling people to piss off when they were saying what was meant to be on it?

Are you really saying that you don't see how the people posting it for all to see is an attempt to help people cheat?

okay so you can prepare for the original but there was no guarantee of what you studied coming up. it really has put a spanner in the works.

I'd look at it the opposite way, especially for something like English II.

Say they're choosing 4 poets from 8. They claim it's random but a lot of people believe there's a method to it, such as gender balance, presence of Irish poets, anniversaries, whether they've come up recently etc. So many schools try predict, often successfully, what poets will be asked, and prepare accordingly. So if I was there, and was about to make a backup exam, the prevailing likelihood would be that I'd change 2/3 if not ALL of the poets, given the scope of choice I'd have.

And similarly, in the case of Macbeth, I'd definitely choose a different issue to focus a question on, and the same again for the comparative.

Maybe that would just be me though.....

Im sure the new paper will be as fair as the first one but...

I like making unnecessary amounts of fuss when I have the chance to!

Yes,but we're not sitting that paper. That is,I believe,the point of this thread.

Yep, as well as the fact that the most likely circumstance in which the contingency paper would have to be used is when the content of the original leaked out! There has to be some allowance for the fact that people have prepared for the original

Hmmmm. I wouldn't use that type of spelling in your English paper 2.

As for the whole hating Louth thing...... Get over it. You would have done the exact same thing.

It's not like the examiner would take the papers back and say "Ok now girls and boys.... Now you won't tell anyone about this will you?"

That's not what I was talking about - I was pointing out that the two students who signed the envelope in question should not be targeted by those who see fit to cast blame around rather than trying to adapt to the new schedule. But why let the facts get in the way of a good argument?

"Facts" are objective. Signatures are legally binding and incredibly powerful. If I were asked to sign,I would ensure I was aware of all the ramifications of this. I would know the reasons why I signed the parcel,and check to make sure everything was in order. The rules/guidelines are there for a reason and should be respected.

Dont be ridiculous. Students sign the envelope in a cursory fashion - they're not deeply contemplating what's inside it - they're thinking about the paper that lies ahead. To accuse them of cheating is childish and desperate.

I had to sign the envelope today and you know what I did? I looked to see that it wasnt opened, I looked at the label to see it was paper 1 and I signed it!! Its not ***ing rocket science!

If I were to look at an examination paper,note its contents,turn around in my seat and inform an acquaintance of said contents,that would be cheating. I think,therefore,it is both reasonable and logical to call this behaviour cheating. It's on a much larger scale,also.

Pity it wasn't Paper 1 leaked. Would've been some funny essays about decision making I'm sure. :P

The Labour Party are calling this an 'educational debacle'. Have we not got enough problems in this country without turning this into a political issue??? It sucks for some, it's great for others. Get over it and move on. If the only poet you studied came up and does not come up Satuday, well then it's your fault for studying the one poet!
S**t happens people.
