Speaking from the last month, the course work is pretty light. Ive heard that the Intro to Applied Maths class speeds up quite a bit so Im bracing for that, but if you meet all of your requirements for each class (some classes recommend you get a certain grade in LC, not a requirement most of the time but check individual requirements). But I wouldn't say uni itself is light, theres a lot of new things and social interaction and stuff meaning you're kind of always on your toes. But no I wouldn't say the coursework itself is too much as long as you keep up with it

Hey Stage 1 DN200 here! I would really recommend my course tbh. My classes are generally really interesting and my lecturers are generally very kind and generally pretty funny. I cant speak much on opportunities later since I just started, but as a physics oriented stream I get one actual lab every two weeks or so in Thermal Physics, I generally find the class painful tbh but you can take it in either 1st or 2nd year. In my experience the university is pretty student heavy, although multiple of my lecturers are doing research that awe struck me because I had seen it in mainstream physics stuff.

Overall I'd say UCD science is incredibly good. The downside are as follows. In DN200 at least you take a module called Scientific Enquiry, there was a lot of messiness around that this year and the theres potential to be landed with a bad group, but its alright. Again the Thermal physics lecturer isnt great imo but he has his moments and its improving as we get used to it. Overall I'd say most of the downsides come with the shock of just how different everything is. But yeah in conclusion Im incredibly happy with my choice and think its certainly a good choice for others to consider. Hope this was helpful

Thank you. Ive tried it at home and in various parts of my university today. I'll open it up when I get home. I have a feeling its the battery being loose since that would explain a lot (especially since I had the battery replaced a few weeks ago but it was fine until now), but Ill confirm for sure if thats the issue.
