    You know the way ever now and again a thread crops up or you simply decide the song you going to choose for your funeral . Well think i've finally found it. Well like say if i was to die in the next 5-6years i'd prolly choose this one most. Still Alive(Insturmental), Just letting the people know im not dead yet cant get rid of me that fast. But im getting the flavour of Coldplay piano in it. A little bit of High School Musical and theres another key in there that i just cant quiet place my Index finger on.

    I dunno it just cropped up while in my quest to find the one Still Alive out of 170 videos. but its a unique taste that has been put into this. Think the other key im getting is slight orchestra sound. but deffo a lot of Coldplay all wrapped into one. Life cant get any sweeter than this.

    BTW just putting this out there for any of you who may have a good ear. if you know THIS!! type of remix of this still alive track in the background. im mean this you can call me night or day. if im on my honeymoon or out on the drink you can stop me or call me,text,email or what ever futuristic crap is there in the future no questions asked. Its just killing me!!

    please. This is my FWP :(

    I was under the impression that if the school was visited by an inspector, they could request to see the experiment books, and that a completed book is officially required (though not usually checked), to sit the exam. Like, if they check, and you can't present one, you could be refused from sitting the exam, but they next to never ask.

    That was what the teachers told us in school.

    That's for Junior Cert.

    I think it's both... IIRC our experiment notebooks were collected and checked by our teacher a week or two before the Biology exam.

    (Though it's been a while so maybe I'm just mixing up JC and LC, but I'm almost certain he collected ours...)

    Nah I think it applies for Leaving Cert too, you just don't get 10% for them in LC. :p

    So you're telling me I stayed up until 4am on multiple nights during my LC year, painstakingly writing out experiments, FOR NOTHING?!?

    Not really, I'm sure you benefited from doing it. You may not get marks for a lab book but you are examined on the labs.

    Exactly. for physics our teacher made us make our own book. but it was for are own prusel. when it came to January and we had no experiments left to do. i lost that copy. :pac:

    According to the syllabus:

    In the course of their studies, students should
    undertake a range of practical work, laboratory work
    and fieldwork. Students should carry out these
    activities over the duration of the course. A record of
    this work should be retained.

    :p

    The gearbox packed in on my Dad's car...

    Our local garage gave him a temporary car for the weekend....

    It's a Honda Civic...

    Never did I think my Dad would be sitting at the kitchen table talking about how fun his Honda Civic is to drive... :P :P :P

    You can roll your eyes all you want, it won't make you right. The SEC hardly states that students are expected to maintain records of their lab work for the lolz and giggles. It is presumed that "should" implies a requirement so obviously write ups are part of normal curriculum procedure.


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


    Fine.

    God forbid I may go against the leaving certs, they do know everything, afterall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    I never actually filled out the lab book we were given for biology so even though it is technically a requirement there's really not that much emphasis put on it like there is for junior cert.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,394 ✭✭✭JamJamJamJam


    It looks like it is a requirement, but one without a penalty? Not a penalty for the student anyway as far as I can see... The school/teacher might get a slap on the wrist on the off-chance that it was checked by an inspector, but meh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,116 ✭✭✭Salty


    I'm fairly certain my lab copy wasn't taken up for inspection for the LC...we may have had to sign something to say we had completed them (?) but my copy was destroyed in highlighter and everything, not the kind of thing you want a departmental inspector looking at!

    This sounds vaguely familiar... IIRC we had to sign a form which had the entire list of Experiments written on it and our teacher had to sign it as well...

    This! And obviously it's easier to see if a student completed the experiments if they kept a record of them. You don't get marks for keeping a copy like you do in the JC.

    Well they certainly seem to be able to convey their points with more maturity than a teacher tbh.

    Ah lads. Everyone is half right, so no need for picking apart what was said. You have to sign off on the experiments at the end of 6th year, which is easier done if they are all documented in a copy. However, there is no percentage going towards the exam for this, nor are the copies inspected by the department.

    Everyone happy?
