Hey didn’t you take that extra course in Business Studies- that they offered last semester?
Yeah I did, why?- Well I was thinking of doing it next semester myself.
- Was it any good?
- Yeah, the lecturer was excellent,
- even though some of the material was quite dry.
- Was there a lot of extra work involved?
- It was ok- some group projects,
- and we had to give a presentation,
- but it was all very enjoyable really.
- Sounds good.
- It’s just that I have a lot of assignments to hand in from my other subjects next semester
- so I don’t want to stretch myself too much, you know?
- Yeah I know exactly what you mean,
- but this course was fun- engaging and interesting.
- What about the other students on it-
- where were they from?
- Well there were some general business students on it
- and some who were studying languages and doing it on the side-
- they take modules in Business and IT I think.
- Were they all Irish?
- Nah, a mix really-
- some international students, some local.
- So you’d recommend it then?
- Absolutely! Go for it!
