Politics is 4 hours a week, girlfriend :P Wha'ever bitchez.......lol...only messin'. But seriously, it is 4 hours a week, I've my timetable printed up.
Monday 11am-12am
Tuesday 9am-10am
Wednesday 2pm-3pm
Thursday 9am-10am
Oh a big btw, the timetables listed when you google "ucc timetables" are WRONG. Was onto the Arts dept today and pominted in the direction of the correct timetables for Arts 1. The other timetable is NOT correct. This is the correct timetable!!!!
The one on Tuesday is your tutorial, which means the one on the website is the correct LECTURE timetable, makes sense if there is only the 72 hours of lectures.
Do the maths :pac: If its 72 hours, it is 72 hours and not anymore! Obviously on that timetable you have, some subjects have all their hours in to ensure that students turn up to both lectures and tutorials, maths studies has three listed there, but I know that they try and organise tutorials during the first lecture.
the lecture rooms are allocated by a central timetabling system, which produces the timetable on the web - however the tutorials are organised by the individual lecturer or department and the rooms booked, which is why they are not listed on the timetable online. Obviously politics are ahead of the game and have a time and room booked0 -

Yeah, the timetable you'll reach from the Arts Dept is correct, the other one (with al the drop down menus etc) is wrong. Anyway, yeah - Politics shows both the weekly tutorial and the lectures but so too does Religions and Global Diversity and Celtic Civilisation. What doesn't add up is Sociology?!!! It shows on my timetable 4 classes a week yet only a total of 72 lecture hours, no tutorials according to the BoM(b)
But 4 hours a week multiplied by 24 weeks, both academic semesters, gives you 96 hours? lol Feck. The lunatics are running the asylum :pac: 0 -

72 hours per academic year, both semesters. I wonder is an academic hour really 45 minutes? Years ago when I did Law at UCC the timetable was much f'ing easier than Arts is. And back then I thought Arts folk had a walk in the park, lol. 0 -

Sometimes the book of modules can leave out tutorials, it depends on what each department sends them - very rare to have subject without tutorials, so I think in this case you have three hours of lectures and one tutorial - everytime go by the hours, they are bound to be right because its the number of hours that lecturer is teaching per subject. I think in the case of politics, the lecturer may also be taking the tutorial - which is why four is listed, could be the same with regards Sociology. I had a friend doing sociology, and it was only three lectures per week, so by my reckoning the other one is the tutorial
Anyway don't worry about it - just show up to your initial lecture as listed in that other document under the timetable you got - every lecturer will lay out the timetable for you in your individual subject.0 -

Think I'll probably phone up the Socioloogy folks and see if they know. Weird that the BoM says there are no tutorials in Sociology and the timetable lists 4 hours a week but again inturn the BoM says you have a max of 72 (maybe 74) hours per academic year if you do Sociology. That only makes sense if there are 3 hours of classes a week. Makes no sense. How do they expect people to decide what subjects to choose if some people have to base their selection on times and hours of the relevant classes (especially those who don't live in Cork but live, like me, a roundtrip distance of 80km a day!) I have to tie my choice subjects to the bloody bus timetable

Well, it's 70 odd hours of lectures per academic year per subject - in Arts 1 of course you take 4 subjects. That excludes any tutorials which depending on your chosen subject you may or may not have. If you have tutorials, and most Arts subjects do, they're generally once a week as far as I know, so another hour per week per subject. Not sure what lecture hours are like in years 2 and 3.
SO thats about 10 weeks of my lectures.......... sheesh! Mind you I love my programme! 0 -

What are you doing? Is it at UCC? I did Law (BCL) at UCC before but hated it. Attempted is probably the more correct word, did, suggests I actually "did" something
