Hi, Some of you may know that at Griffith we put the fe1 course online as well as live. It’s basically the video of the lecture “on-demand” (as our marketing people have decided to call it). The move to this was partially inspired by the existence of groups like this – i.e. it made some of the “highers” realise that people don’t just depend on education on-site, but work in different ways nowadays.
I can’t tell anyone they need these courses. Many, many people do well without them and with textbooks and, above all, good solid work and a dedicated, disciplined study timetable, but I’ve tried to get GCD to come up with some assistance for those who want them. Nor can I repeat the crap you'll be reading elsewhere about how everything is "fine" and that there are jobs everywhere. Bottom line is that I’ve been trying to get discounted rates what-with- the-times, and I’m not sure how to make this workable, but I can offer everyone on this group a 10% off on the €350 and roughly 12.5% off on the €395 – i.e. €315 for online (which includes the new manuals) and €345 on the live lectures. Maybe think of it as a “thank you” for the insight I’ve been able to get for market demands from your good selves. Now, I’m told the loss of revenue on this becomes intolerable after a certain number of people take it up, so I’ve told the office to offer this to anyone registering with the code “GOOGLEGROUPSFE1”. I’ve been forced to keep it limited to fifty people unfortunately, but I’ll keep working on that. It’s not a lot, but maybe it’s something. Other than that, there are one or two other things. There was a post there about whether 2007 manuals would suffice. I’m not sure that they would. However, we have changed manuals for the 2009 sitting, and this leaves me with about 30 (but not in constitutional) manuals for each subject from 2008. They were for the shredder. However, if anyone has an old manual (however they got it) – you can send in the cover (just rip it off) and you can have a 2008 one in place, until the supplies run out (and i'm about half way into them at this point). It seems a bit better than shredding them. Before the courses start, there is also an introduction to law course. It’s a bit tough to call, because students don’t usually register well in advance. To combat this, I’m getting it put online on the “free” website. If anyone is starting off and needs help on the basics – e.g. terminology, courts structure, common law principles, it should assist if anyone needs it and no registration needed etc. Equally, we’ve developed an online tutoring system. Whether or not you’re a student at GCD you can submit work for correction / feedback to our staff. There is a small fee for each submission, but if you just want to see if you’re on the right track re exam technique / answer depth, it may help. Usually, just getting feedback on one or two questions is enough for some people.
