    You know what'd make him perfect? If he told maths jokes.

    Irish History tomorrow:( Thinking i may die during it am screwed!

    You're not the only one, I'm after pulling an all-nigher but I didn't go the last lectures or tutorials so I've just taken a completely uneducated guess as to what's going to come up and studied that. So if I don't get lucky I'll probably be leaving after the half hour.

    Found the Irish one handy enough, though I wish I did more study. Gotten a bit complacent this year.

    Did the one on population growth and the Irish republic.

    I did the same, liked the population growth one but I didn't really know much about the chances of becoming a republic in the 1840s so I focused on the 1790s for the second one.

    I can't really complain though, it could've gone a lot worse.

    That's the same as what I did actually. I rambled on for ages about failed French aid and the rising for 1790s and just said they ran out of potatoes or something for 1840s :pac:

    One more exam, Marketing Intelligence on Saturday at 4. >.<

    I went to bed last night deciding "Right, I'll go to the library first thing in the morning, and take out some books or whatever for extra research"

    A couple of Louis Theroux documentaries later, I has a restless night (possibly not a result of the documentaries) and woke up at 9.30.

    Yeah....I'm not coming in today :o

    Internet research it is!!

    I have marketing intelligence aswell and im starting to panic about it! I have no idea how to even attempt to study it! Are you just using the lecture notes and looking up the readings he gave us? I at least though he would give us some hints seeing as its worth 100%.....:mad:

    Well with the readings I'm pretty much looknig at other sources, ie. Google search, because most of those links have to be paid for :rolleyes:
    And then I'm going through the lecture notes, and writing them out in a more condensed form.

    I'll go to the library tomorrow to see if there's anything else there.
    Just looking at last year's paper, the questions seem to be pretty specific, eg "Critically discuss how marketers can use social media in gathering marketing intelligence"
    And we only have to write around 2 pages on each, so I'd say it won't be too bad. But I don't really know what to expect with him :S


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,298 ✭✭✭freyners


    two more left, tort and public law....thank fck its only a 50% exam for tort, the way the lecturer teaches is a joke!!!!!!!!!

    public law more worried about, lec really gave nothing away and its a very wide range of topics to learn:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭SarahBeep!


    My Animal Diversity exam went EPICLY today!! This is a total boost, I've come out of every other exam close to tears.

    Ugh wipeout qca destroyer today. I'll try take solace in my Dad's advice that no matter how bad you do there'll always be someone worse than you. I'll be pushing whoever that is very close this time I'm afraid. :(

    Theres always at least 1 QCA killer per semester.

    Hopefully it's not as bad as you think cson.

    Best of luck :Dicon14.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭mulner92


    Finished since yesterday, don't know how i did, all i'd hope is that i've no resits in August. Assignments and stuff went well so hopefully fingers crossed. My favourite lecturer has probably been Neil Robinson. Funny lad and a bit of a legend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,298 ✭✭✭freyners


    thank god its over


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,657 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    Marketing Intelligence - Don't ask. :(

    Ah well, feck it. IT'S OVEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭mulner92


    What's the difference between an F and a compensatory fail? Does a compensatory fail mean you can appeal the result?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,611 ✭✭✭skeleton_boy


    If your QCA is over 2.0 and you get a com fail, you dont have to repeat that module.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭mulner92


    Thanks hope i won't have to worry about it when we get the results back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭mulner92


    Not looking forward to the results, they may have gone fine but as a first year i don't know what to expect, i did well in assignments prior to that but not sure that's a good indicator. Hope i do get a good qca result so not as to repeat.
