Ultimate Guide to Modules!

Well, but look at my situation...

I got in for psychology and I believe that with my knowledge I would be capable to pass the first year modules even now.
However, I am not entirely decided whether I want to pursue this career to be my profession thus the other modules I want to take will be philosophy (the Mind and Reality module and Introduction to logic - I think these are also quite easy in my eyes) plus IR (which yes, requires a lot of extra work and I am not certainly sure they can accept me?). The additional fourth subject would be Management due to fact my father is a manager and hope this skills can potentially open more doors in the future (it goes well with psychology too - the marketing stuff especially).

My country of birth is not the UK and our secondary education is really broad so I have studied all the subjects before.

I'm first year Maths student from EU and I'm unsure if I need to take MT1001. Or maybe it would be possible to take MT1002 in the first semester instead?

I'm considering taking beginners Spanish as a third module, and I was hoping someone could review it for me? I'm mainly concerned that about the difficulty/amount of work involved. Thanks

I'm hoping to take Spanish too! I've heard that there's a lot of work, but it's manageable- it can't be too bad, can it?

Hopefully it won't be too bad! I took Spanish for GCSE but I've forgotten most of it

Hi,

It's been a little while since I took the SP1003 Spanish for Beginners module...I was a first year in 2008... I've tried to have a look at the module information on the website, but it won't seem to let me as I'm not on the uni network(?)

Anyhoo! If you've already done GCSE Spanish this will probably be a walk in the park! I had done pre-GCSE Spanish about 5 years before this module and I had a significant advantage over other total beginners. Much of the work revolves around verb conjugations, adjective agreement and picking up as much vocabulary as possible all while following a textbook. To be honest, it was my easiest module over my 4 years by far and required very little work. A couple of my friends who had zero Spanish beforehand also found it pretty easy going. Assessment consisted of a class test every 2/3 weeks, 1 or 2 longer pieces of writing (nothing more than 500 words at a time!) and then the exam. (Without seeing the current module info I can't say whether this has changed!)

Overall, superb module and really good fun! It was overseen by the incomparable Bernard Bentley who sadly left. I'm sure it's still just as good! I hope you enjoy your time in the Bubble!

Does anybody know if modules from the school of classics are available to everyone else?
The 'LT1001 - Elementary Latin 1' module is 'optional for all Classical Studies, Classics, Latin Degrees'. Does that mean it's not optional to students doing science degrees? Thanks

That is probably a silly question, but if you have modules one after the others at opposite ends of town, how do you manage? Do lectures finish a bit before the hour to give you a chance to rush to the other one?

Run. Or get a bike. I can't bike, so I usually speed-walked.

I had a 2nd year class at 10 in the Physics building and a 1st year class at 11 in the Buchanan. I ended up always being about 10-15 minutes late for the second one. If your second class is more important to you, leave the first one 10/15 minutes early.

Technically classes are meant to end at 5 to and start at 5 past, but 95% of the time my classes went over.

Bike, definitely then... From the 10am Bio class in the Science building to 11am Psy lab in St Mary's - both are important, so daughter will be getting very fit I guess!

Thanks very much.
