Hi everybody, is/did anybody here do the course for teaching physics and chemistry? Just wondering, are the actual sciences much harder than secondary school, or is it around the same difficulty?

Thanks!

Hey!
I'm just finished my first year of English and History, so I'll answer your questions.
The first semester is fairly basic and just sort of sets you up for the rest of the course. You've probably seen the list of modules but here's a quick breakdown:

• Academic Literacies: An intro to academic writing, common across all the english courses and if you've got enough common sense, you'll probably pass it in your sleep. You have to do worksheets and those combined with tutorial attendance make up 30% of the module. An argument analysis is worth another 20%, and there's an essay (which you can do on anything) and a presentation which make up the other 50%. (I used a spruced up version of my RSR from the leaving)
• The Irish Literary Revival: A nice enough module made up of plays and prose by Sean O Casey, George Moore, James Joyce and W.B. Yeats. Graded on a (very) short essay type thing, tutorial attendance, a presentation and a final essay of around 1200 words.
• Critical Practice 1: An easy enough module (as long as you like reading) that teaches you the basic format of MLA style (which you use for all English essays) and you have to read Paul Auster's City of Glass, The Awakening by Kate Chopin and some of Poe's short stories. The grading is broken down into tutorial attendance for 10% two essays worth 40% each, and then for the last 10% you edit and improve the essay that you got the lowest grade in and re-submit it.
• Diplomacy Government and the State, 1550-1715 : Handy enough...the essay (33.33%) was based in the first half of the course which was Spain and the exam (66.66%) was based on the second half, France (a lot of Louis XIV and Cardinal Mazarin).
• Early Modern Europe and Ireland: Goes from about 1400 to just after Cromwell and it's fairly easy, just going into depth of stuff that you will have done in school and it's graded the same way as Diplomacy, Government and the State.

So that's just the first semester, but you'll find in the second semester that the workload is about the same. In the first semester I had 7 essays, an argument analysis (that in all fairness took me about half an hour), two presentations and an exam. In semester 2 I had 4 essays, a presentation, an argument analysis and a source report (piece of cake).
So, if there's anything else, you want to know, give me a shout

Hey biggaman, you should post your query on the UL Facebook page - you might get more traffic over there during the summer??

UL's Course Timetable

Not necessarily indicative of:
-the actual practical timetable (lecturer changing times, etc.)
-next year's timetable (in terms of modules)

Could probably give combined info on a number of science courses for 1st year, as they all do pretty much the same modules, for the first semester anyway. This includes; Phar. & Ind. Chem, (My course!) Science choice (to some extent) Biochem and a few other science related courses

Modules tend to include;
Bio
Chem
Physics
(I have all 3 )
Science Maths (At the mo functions and differentiation, limits and onwards. HL LC Maths, having done OL, finding it v. hard)
& Computer Sciences (Microsoft Office).
Also if you're doing more specific courses, you may also get the option to do;
Biochem
Physiology
Nutrition/Food Sciences
Equitation studies/Science
Etc.

READ THROUGH THE COURSE YOU WISH TO PICK
MODULES AND WHAT NOT ON UL.IE PAGE ABOUT YOUR COURSE!

Make sure what you're getting yourself into,
And be sure you're ready to do the course and modules in it before you pick it.

It'll be a sickening and unbelievably hard 4 years if you don't have an interest in the course you've chosen.

Can anyone tell me some info about LM118
