You're doing more than what my tute group did. All we did were the tests and then discuss the weekly readings for the entirety of the time left. No work at all. But yeah the tutes weren't that great. So long as you study 3-5 of the weekly topic/readings before the final exam, plus readings for...

Those do sound like crap things to write about. With our mini essays, in the course outline it would have say, 2 or 3 readings listed for the week. And the question would randomly be based on one of those readings. Things like that. Sometimes it would list a few questions to do with the sources...

It's ten minutes per essay, in case that was confused. Oh and I wasn't saying they were fun. I didn't do too well in those ones. The fact it's only ten minutes was my excuse.:uhoh: And the fact they weren't worth much made it better.

Ha yeah some of them were REALLY easy marks it was great. There were a few of them that were a bit harder where you had to write short essays. But you know, there's not much you can write in ten minutes. :)

I think that's a good approach to be honest. I find that some people who start too early end up finding out in tutes/lectures that what they've done is just on the wrong track and have to start over again. I would die. :P The main thing I remember about the history tutes is having a class...

^ That was going to be my reaction. xD

Oh yeah I remember those history ones somewhat. I think I printed them all off for the first one or two lectures... because I was starting out and thought I pretty much had to. But it is not worth it when you can just take a few notes if need be and save it to the lecture notes online or...

Haha nope it's definitely not openoffice's fault in this case. It's like... I really don't want to print off so many pages each with just a heading or two on them. Waste of paper and ink I say. Not that I take much notes in my other courses... but two of them are straight after that 8am one...

I didn't get a lot of sleep myself. I'm tempted to sleep now. :P That would be an irritating factor too. I'm not much of a note taker though so it doesn't bother me a lot in that regard. Even the lecture outlines she puts on BB aren't all that helpful though... it seems she just writes the...

Now that is something I can relate to. =] Yes those are the bricks. :D I sat on the opposite side though. I was the only one on that side. Those I sit with in that lecture are always late, slightly. I had my tute yesterday too... making the lecture completely pointless. Just about every...

It actually makes perfect sense. I love that you drew it. :) Haha. Yes, that is the path I walked. Though I went a tad bit further, kinda bordering the edge of LT2. :P But away from it... if you know what I mean. I sat on those bricks opposite the theatres. :) You might have noticed me staring...

Oh well that one wasn't me, because I'm sure you started walking behind me when I walked past because as I walked past the lecture theatre to sit down I looked at the wall and no one was there. Then I sat, looked at the wall and there you were. I think that was you anyway. I got paranoid. xD Oh...

Oh score! Haha. I can't believe I was right.:p I must sound like a huge stalker myself now.:uhoh: I think there might be some sort of email system like that. I never needed/tried/figured-out how to use it though. EDUC1738 does not seem very tech-savvy though so I think I should be...

We really do need a general chat thread... but I can't be bothered making one. Haha. @Phoenix Fury if you read this: This is a long shot but given the small number of males compared to females in the course my odds of guessing correctly are somewhat improved. Before the lovely 8am lecture this...

Ha, yeah definitely. Turns out it was completely useless for my tute. :) Tutor turned up today, she's nice. It really felt like I was a student in a primary classroom. Haha. Oh and I sat next to a random and rambled on for two minutes about nothing because I had to as one of the tutor's...

I did actually. I read the first and last part of the chapter. All of the stuff in the middle just didn't seem that important to read. And I tried to read the chapters from the other book, but I don't know. It felt so pointless somehow. :( I'll probably regret it. I read the overviews and...

Like I said, I'm pretty socially retarded. :P Good on you though.

Yeah it's pretty sucky. But is also kind of to be expected. :s It's only been a week anyway.

Not really, the few people I knew last year aren't in any of my classes this semester it seems. The mysteriousness of the stick is quite frightening. O:

Eep. I'd better put in extra effort then. I suppose if it's just one of those tiny thin branches I'll survive. >< :P
