University ๐ŸŽ“ Organising notes for college

โ€ข Upvotes

Hi, Iโ€™m starting my degree in maths and applied maths in Maynooth in a few weeks. Just looking for advice on making notes and keeping everything organised. Especially for maths I think my best option is handwriting I have MacBook which Iโ€™ll do all my assignments on and stuff but I think in lectures itโ€™s best to write it by hand. I want to keep things neat and organised, Iโ€™ve seen some people do refill pads but I would prefer square paper is it okay to use the like hardback maths copies from secondary school and label each copy for its specific module eg one for linear algebra another one for mathematical physics. Any help would be great thx

English ๐Ÿ“– How to get a H1 in English

11 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of people ask this, and English is quite tough in the sense that you never know what's needed.

Having gotten a H1 in English, thought I'll share some tips:

Paper 1

QA:

  • Make sure to use plenty quotes
  • EXPLAIN each quote in relation to question
  • Show personal opinion

QB:

  • Answer all parts of the Q (tougher than it sounds - cause you may miss key parts of Q)
  • DO NOT write more than ~500 words.
  • No waffle, get the point across, and QUICK.

Paper 2

Play:

  • Clear structure
  • Good quotation, and explain the purpose
  • Appropriate language - i.e. use words like climax, eponymous hero, villain etc.

Comparative:

  • Structure is the most important part of whole Q
  • Compare and contrast as often as you can

Poetry:

  • GIVE YOUR OPINION
  • Show the examiner you are personally engaging with the poems
  • Keep coming to the Q in your answer

Hopefully this was a helpful starting point.

I cover all the above, and much more, in-depth in my article which you can read HERE.

I always found English extremely difficult to study, because I never knew what needs to be done for the H1. In the article, I share my experiences and what I did to get the H1. Hopefully it helps!

If you have any questions about English, or any other subject (I did 3 sciences, accounting and computer science) feel free to ask.

All the best!

PLCs ๐Ÿ“– School attendance For PLC

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

To make the story short I missed a lot of school in 5th year due to mental health problems I had( I think my attendance was 21% at one point) and I plan to get my attendance to atleast 80-90% this year. I have missed 3 days so far into 6th year but Iโ€™m putting a stop to it now. My Principal has already said that I wonโ€™t be accepted to a PLC course because of my attendance from 5th year. Can someone please tell me, does attendance in 5th year Matter for entry to a PLC course??

Thanks in advance

Physical Education ๐ŸŽฝ ๐Ÿ’ช Leaving Cert PE - PAP Project

1 Upvotes

Anyone do LC last year who got H1 in their PAP for a team sport got any tips / willing to share pics of their PAP? PLEASE

The people in our school who did PE didnโ€™t do well in their PAPs. In fact results quite low overall for PE in our school so defo not ideal to use theirs as a guide. So Ild love to see a h1 pap if possible?

I know format will change this year. Iโ€™ll probably do rugby but even if you had a football, soccer, basketball, hurling, Camogie, hockey etc one that be great.

I am going to do circuit training for the performance one. Thanks

PMs welcome!

  • Iโ€™m testing an AI that lets you speak Irish and get instant feedback for oral prep (topics, role-plays, follow-ups).
  • Which would help you most?
    • Topic packs (mo chlann, mo cheantar, caitheamh aimsire, srl.)
    • Sample examiner follow-ups + grading rubrics
    • Slow mode vs natural speed
  • If permitted, Iโ€™ll drop a demo in the comments; otherwise I can DM it to anyone who replies sรญlim.
