    Im just about to cry now... Friday 10am - compulsory lecture on which the lecturer asks random people and you need to know the answer. He knows everyone so if I'll skip it, he will know. How am I supposed to go to this lecture after Thursday night in Roost?!

    Also... Mondays - 2 law lectures with a lecturer that puts me to sleep.. of course compulsory

    Hate that.

    There's a lecture I wont even be able to go to because it clashes with my bus timetable. The last bus goes at 4pm on Friday and this lecture is at 4pm so it doesn't suit me.

    Try telling your bus company about it.

    Has anyone else here ever had lectures at 4pm on Friday?

    Both semesters: Monday 10am - gap till 4pm... tuesday 9am.. wednesday 9am... Friday 10am...

    I wish you hadn't told me that...

    Same as last year really though. I'm sure they do it deliberately! You can go back for a nap after them though!

    Are lectures definitely compulsory this year? It made change with the new dept head.

    Actually, having looked at the law timetable again it's really not that bad, when combined with History anyway. I pretty much have two days off (a 9am on Wed and that's it til 10am on Fri). A couple of early mornings but I can handle that if I have to. It could be worse and we don't even know if lectures will be compulsory yet!

    It's better then the horrible Fridays that we used to have in first years!

    Not sure if want!

    Also, to anyone who's completed 2nd Year CSSS, could ya tell me the story with labs/tutorials and work load? Cheers!

    2 hours of labs for each CS module except for cs151, don't know how they do that these days, might still be an hours tutorial and an assignment per week. Very little work load since most of it is done in the labs, maths excluded obviously.

    As for that timetable clash in semester 2 ignore it, things like that always happen and it'll be adjusted before that semester starts.

    When combined with French it's horrible! And Im not the only one giving out about it. And I still have to pick 4 tutorial times to add to it :(

    Seeing as your a third year, can you tell me what second year chemistry is like? Is there a big jump in difficult from first year? I'm picking it regardless because I refuse to do maths & physics, but it would be nice to find out a bit about it.

    It's very do-able. Organic in first and Inorganic in second semester are both hard but if you go to all the lectures and fill out your notes right you'll do fine.
    Rest of the exams are pretty easy.
    Steer clear of physics. The first semester module had an 86% fail rate before continuous assessment.
    Nothing but stress :P

    Don't worry about gaps too much, you will have a chance to do assignments, grab a coffee or just chill out in the arts block :)

    Maybe I'm just used to it because it's the exact same timetable as last year.

    If it's just mornings that are the issue don't worry about it. It's probably actually better for you.

    I'm pretty much the same. Gap are a good thing imo. You're more likely to do work then because you know you're not totally free. Particularly in final year. It's good motivation as well as giving you a nice break if needed too. (Took me for years to discover that though!)

    Christ that is going to be a lot of coffee and chilling :P

    I hope the timetable designers feel like Oppenheimer with how holey it is.

    Knowing me I will just sit in the arts block doing nothing and cursing the gaps. I would prefer to have 4 hours in a row and be free for the rest of the time
    I'm a type of person that prefers to get the lectures over with and stay back after college till late to do stuff but sometimes I do use them to do assignments etc..
