Repost: Moodle and exam papers: A gentle reminder

It's good to recycle, so here's a blog post I republish every so often. It's merely coincidence I do so in the lead up to exams...

My spider sense is tingling. I'm not sure, but I think that there might be exams coming up. Ah, exam time and a young student's fancy turns to finding previous exam papers and pretty damn quickly too. If you're looking for previous exam papers, don't ask library staff, yet. Look on Moodle instead. Exams have a course category to themselves and are visible on the main page, the one that appears after you login. Scroll down and exams are at the bottom. Here's the link to the exams. You will have to login first, but once you do, you will go straight to the exams page. There are 7 different categories:

Law
Postgraduate Arts
Professional School
School of English
Postgraduate Business Studies
Undergraduate Arts
Undergraduate Business

To activate your Moodle account, you will need to activate your @mydbs.ie mail account. To do that, go to Hotmail, enter your student number and date of birth and follow the prompts. If you have any problems with Moodle, or setting up your mydbs.ie mail account, you'll need to contact our IT department.

Most but not all recent exams are up there and more are being added all the time.

Good luck, again
