Ah a few of communication people! I've heard a lot of good and bad things about it but I choose to listen to the good things! If the points don't go up I have it but if not I'm friggered

. But I'll take advantage of the opportunity to ask things anyway

Is there much journalism and writing in the course? And did you find it hard to meet people in the course or are the classes small enough to meet people easily. I'll be a big fat loner otherwise :P

There are nights where it'll be packed but there will also be nights where you'll be the only one there.

The strange thing is, it only empties when you arrive.

They do food there too, fuggin' savage food. It's a bit pricey but it's so much nicer than the food in the restaurant, imo. Never gotten a bad meal from the bar.

So "andyman" if that is your real name, how many meals would you say you ate in the bar?
Also have you ever ate in the restuarant?

Didn't you just live of the vending machines ??

I'm a broken down Masters student who has just handed in his thesis. Once a fresh faced, promising sportsman I and my colleagues are now haggard, tired and have an addiction to alcohol, facebook and daytime tv after five years of University living.

Enjoy yourselves, and by that I mean don't go to all your lectures but don't take the complete piss either. Go to half of them and you should do fine in first year anyway, depending on what you are studying. Just get the notes and knuckle down for the month before exams.

Choose going on roadtrips. Choose rolling up at the UCC, NUIG and Sligo IT Rag Weeks. Choose one night stands, f**k buddies, house parties and bringing naggins into Coppers. Choose going online some Tuesday night and booking flights to Bratislava for the following morning. All because you can!

If it weren't for my pesky job I'd go back and do another degree just to do first year all over again! Good times...

I'm Seán and I'll be in journalism, unless the points go up by 70+, in which case I'll be in a funeral home. Friends of mine will tell you of their lack of existence. I don't know what the ringtone on my phone is and I fell down the stairs 20 minutes ago.

Hi.

JBoyle4eva · 20-08-2010 07:38PM

Hey guys, name's James and I'm going to be studying for a Masters in International Communications

I didn't really want to make a thread for it but, what's the difference between a lecture and a tutorial?

Noodleworm · 22-08-2010 09:46PM

depends on the class, but mostly its like this..

Lecture: often in a big room, just listen to lecturer talk and/or present a powerpoint. Take notes. Little discussion or questions.

Tutorial: smaller groups, a lecturer will teach you how to do something and you will spend time actually doing it, following instructions.

This can very from class to class. I had a lot of "Seminars" that were essentially tutorials. It depends what the subject is. In a tutorial you might be at a computer or something.

I'm Jason and most likely I'll be studying Biotechnology.

Done Biology and Chemistry so I should have the basics of it anyway. Can anyone give me some insight on this?
