Does anyone know when or how to change modules for Semester 2? In the registraton at the beginning of the year I picked SO104 (Global Society) as a sociology module and now I'm thinking about switching to PO104 (Political institutions and civil society in Europe)

Also does anyone know anything about either of these modules and which they would recommend bearing in mind I'm doing Law and History and they are the two subjects I want to keep on next year (if I can manage 60% in Law!)

Seeing as many threads pop up asking questions which can be answered within a couple of posts, I thought this might be a good idea.

I have a question about moodle.

I enrolled in both Option A and B for one Seminar on moodle so that I could see the descriptions, now I need to know how to un-enroll from something on moodle!

Global Society, did that in first year and I didn't like it (due to lecturer/lack of interest in the subject), however I heard from people who chose the other one that it wasn't much better. You're going to get modules that you don't like, so what you should do is sit in for a couple of lectures on each.

When it comes to changing modules, the option is in your 'Webmail and Student Services' section, the option to change modules will probably be available from next week.

I think they must have removed that at some point this year. I've enrolled for modules that I ended up not taking, and earlier this year I saw the option to unenroll and it was fairly obvious wherever it was, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

No no, there's a chance you mightn't slam the door hard enough! Tie it to the ceiling light and jump over the banisters!

From their site.

Student Travel Card
Whether you only go home once or twice during the year, or if you fancy heading to the other side of the country just for kicks; a Student Travel Card is the way to go. For a measly €15 you can save a fortune on your bus and train fare over the year.The best part is that it’ll be valid until December of next year! That’s 15 months of cheap travel for €15. These, too, are available in the S.U. Office.

Student travel card does feck all, I got one in 1st year and I didn't even use it once, my student card sufficed for everything.

Michellenman · 27-01-2010 08:12PM

If you're stopped and asked for your ticket and you don't have your travel card and you've paid student fares you'll either be fined or asked to pay the difference. It's happened to a couple of friends of mine in the last while.

It does make a difference if you buy student travel tickets. They certainly don't accept your student ID for that. They should, but they don't.

but lets not forget the big mac meal for a fiver!best part about the travel card :P

Michellenman · 28-01-2010 05:50PM

There's also a 15% discount in boots with a student travel card. They don't accept regular student cards though. Why they don't is beyond me.

cian1500ww · 28-01-2010 05:53PM

The travel card thing is just a money racket.

Obviously but decent discounts if you're getting intercity trains. Travel twice on intercity a year and the card pays for itself.

Duddy · 28-01-2010 06:03PM

Is it because some student cards don't have an expiry date?? still a money racket though:rolleyes:

Yeah good for public transport, pity they don't give student discounts on diesel at filling stations

Michellenman · 29-01-2010 02:00PM

Do they give it on unleaded?! :eek:

Turtyturd · 29-01-2010 04:47PM

Does anyone know where I can get some examples of the entrance questions for the Anthropology and Social Science courses?

Also does anyone know when these usually take place?

Thanks.

WHAT?! And all the money I've thrown away on products I thought needed these past four years! Why didn't someone tell me!

Michellenman · 29-01-2010 08:33PM

Don't worry! It's only recently they started doing it!

Ddemo · 01-02-2010 08:50PM
