Has anyone studied law in NUIG, and if so, could anybody tell me if you can request information regarding your marks in the summer exams, specifically where you lie in your year when all the marks are added together and you get an overall mark for the year (out of 60 ECTS)?

E.g. overall, student x gets a 2:1 for the year, which places him/her in 20th place in a year of 157


Or is that information automatically included? (obv. this is the first set of exams I have sat :cool: )

Aye, I'm a right Captain Obvious :P

I have a feeling that it may be because it's not correctly parsed or doesn't know where some symbols start/finish, I can't remember the errors off-hand and I'm not going at it this late at night! I'll have a poke at it tomorrow and see where I get.

I'm sure hspace and vspace have their uses. They must, since I can't see any mention of them being deprecated online. I'd say they're more for producing whitespace than aligning items.

I've looked into Latex before, but never actually got around to learning. Do you find it that useful for reports etc? I hate having to boot into windows just to use the office suite, and their isn't a decent replacement on ubuntu ( Libreoffice doesn't cut it IMHO).
