    At the start of the lab manual it has tutorial times. BY2201 tutorials start on Tuesday 2nd of November and BY2203 on Tuesday 14 December.

    I don't know if these are set in stone, but thats all we've been told so far! Dunno where your mate got this friday from?;)

    Has anyone else been asigned a biology tutorial yet?
    Still no sign of one on my timetable but I was talking to someone today who said they had theirs at one o'clock on Firday -which was the slot I had before they added the maths tutorials.

    No there's none on my timetable either. I do have 2 maths ones in a row on friday though which is weird

    on a side note, OH MY GOD that was the most terrifyingly humiliating thing I'v ever done. That biology class looks a feck lot bigger when your on the stage speaking. Got up there and just completely forgot everything :D We had a good laugh about it afterwards though. Seriously though, not normally that ridiculously uncomfortable, so vote for me, I'm somewhat normal when you actually get to know me!

    That was you?? You did a great job! Everyone around me said they'd vote for you anywayy :D

    Biology wise, no tutorials as of yet. I missed my extra Chemistry one today because I couldn't figure out how to see the list :(

    If you're talking about the guy in the suit jacket and tie then yes, yes it was me. Thanks for the vote of confidence but needless to say, public speaking, not for me! :D Fair play to the chap who did it so calmly first in maths

    I do Maths Methods so I didn't see the first guy : ( I only heard one other person running for it, do you know if they are many others?
    It was you I saw then, suit and tie were a nice touch! I'm sure the whole public speaking thing will get easier.

    Why thank you! Yeah there's 15 on the ballot sheet and I think 4 get elected. Did you hear about this girl in chemistry earlier? Probably shouldn't say it on this but if you heard about it you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. Very very weird

    Oh, I don't do chemistry and I'm intrigued!! Well done though earlier, I wouldn't be able to speak in front of all those people! :D

    15 :eek: They should get themselves out there so!
    No I didn't?? Chemistry.. I was upstairs, front row and practically falling asleep! Don't think anything out of the ordinary happened around me. I'll have to ask people tomorrow now. Weird how?

    I was upstairs too. Didn't even know it happened until a few people said it afterwards. Weird as in you definitely would have thought there would have been more of a fuss made. I'll send you an oul pm

    Let's just say it involves shaking, clothes, a mother, and crying.

    Needless to say it's very weird.

    O_O was justified.

    PM me!! Plz :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 733 ✭✭✭dog_pig


    I wish to hear more of whatever happened in Chemistry!

    On a side-note are we supposed to be registered for any courses on webct?

    Looking at the past papers for SF, last year has papers for BY2201-10, but also has 4 other Bio papers, whats the story with those?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭Blerdiii


    hey can a JF tell me where ill find that online biology assesment?

    I think we were supposed to get an email about it because the website's down but I havn't gotten anything yet.

    Where are we supposed to bring our Biology Practical write ups?

    How is everyone finding the JF lab work? I'm finding the practical write ups for Chemistry and Biology really hard. I've only been able to answer a couple of things onn each, and I don't wanna hand them in so empty.

    Ye I've been finding them very hard as well. Think it's a sign to start studying a bit. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't done chemistry before.

    I agree, I kinda neglected the bio write up so far. I hadn't a clue what to do in either of those experiments during the lab!

    Ye the chemistry ones quite tough, what exactly do we have to hand in for biology is it just that yellow sheet ? They didn't really explain it that well...

    I think they refer to the older pre-semesterisation exam structure. This year, one person did those papers while the other 280-odd biology students of some form or another did the BY220X exams. I believe it was someone doing those exams off-books so the course changes couldn't have applied to him/her.

    The old Biology 1 and Biology 2 papers 1&2 essentially covered all BY2201-2210 modules and the exam was more stressful I felt, having 4 papers to cover the equivalent of 10 sections where this year onwards, there is one exam per section.

    Ahh cool. Cheers!

    Would any of the 3rd years know how many spaces there are in Astrophysics and straight Physics in 3rd year?
    :toppa:

    :toppa:

    The JS/SS choice book from last year lists 10 places, (Page 5) also describes the content in depth.

    The Physics never fills up
