Tutorials

When exactly do tutorials for first years start or have they started already? I was positive that they didn't start until the 3rd of October and everything I have says the same but in Critical Readings today she complained that tutorial attendance had been very low. This got some rather bemused looks from the class so what's going on? Of course this is the same teacher that only handed out enough timetables for about 1/3rd of the class then neglected to tell the rest that the next day was a reading day but I wanna know what she was talking about

Depends on your subjects. When I was in 1st Year, the year co-ordiantor for each subject generally told us or made us sign up in the lecture hall. Of course, the simple way to find out for sure, is to go and ask your Dept. They'll be able to tell you.

Each of my lecturers have told us when we have practicals/tutorials (every 2nd week for maths and every week for most others).

They (for me) strated this week and will start next week for the ones that dont start this week

Thanks, just logged into the student information thing and my timetable has changed from a generalised one to one that shows each individual week with tutorials. I only missed one and I don't have any more til Friday so the damage isn't too bad.

Developmental and Biological Psychology started today... seems alright, and it's only fortnightly, so meh

(anyone from my class happen to be registered here? lol)

Andore · 20-09-2005 9:00pm

No but that's the one I missed. How was it?

Dave! · 20-09-2005 9:07pm

Grand, it was just an introduction thing... Getting to know each other and that kind of lark. She said to read the section in our core text on Biological Psychology, for the next tutorial (in a fortnight). Oh the class is split into 2, one group one week, the other the next, so you should go to the class next week and make sure you're not in that group instead.

So I went to my first tutorial today for Critical Readings and I was the only one there! Kind of hard to talk about Heart of Darkness for the first time without any chance to think about the question or listen to others opinions. Wasn't really awkward though since we had a good chat about favourite books etc but it was a pretty strange way to end the day.

Goddammit, I got 2 100 word pieces to do for history

And reading to do for history and psychology too

When did university become all about the work?!

That's been my problem for 2 years - And miraculously enuff I'm still here!

Why change a winning strategy I say. Let the laziness continue...

rainbow kirby · 25-09-2005 1:11am

Well I'm still in college despite being a lazy fux0r for the last 3 years... so there's hope for us all

Work is a four letter word. I think I'll follow Seb's strategy

Ouchie! We didn't have to do any Info Studies coursework until the last day of the 1st semester last year and that was a piss easy 1 hour search engine job......!

grrrr It's all work work work aswell for Zane this week. My hours this week are going up by 50%! :mad: That means instead of 2 hours I'll have 3 hours. :eek:

Waltons · 25-09-2005 7:14pm

Ah ya git Zane!
It's a bit crazy that we need to have our coursework for Info Studies in a day before we have to have the PROPOSED TOPIC for our coursework (150-200 words) in for Info Literacy. Bastids

TBH I think they've eventually copped on to the fact that even a donkey could pass 1st year Info Studies so they are boosting the workloadometer to epidemic levels!

Oh I'm so looking forward to failing 2nd year and I haven't even passed 1st year yet!

Waltons · 25-09-2005 7:43pm

We've no past papers to look back on either. I hate being a guinea pig

orangerooster · 26-09-2005 1:48am
