[know_it_all]

1. do we have tutes in the first week?
2. should we buy books now or wait til the 1st week is over to see which are necessary ?

 

[sikeveo]

What happens if you have a tutorial timetabled before a lecture?...

Typically you don't attend the tut, you go to the lecture to learn that you supposed to, you exclaimed along with 30 other people, then you attend another tut.

Commerce - there's no tutes for any commerce subjects in first week.

Commerce - there's no tutes for any commerce subjects in first week.

So we have Lectures and Labs as per normal, but no tutes right?

 

[Casmira]

and we find out from our lectures when your labs are

Science -

Chemistry - No tut and lab in the first week
Biology - Lab commences in the first week. (All tut in BIOS1201 are non-compulsory, you only go there is you have a question you would like to ask).

 

[sikeveo]

tutes in bios1201? There are no scheduled tutes, so im guessing you mean just going up to the lecturer and asking questions?

 

[fantaztik2006]

wtf there are labs in the first week? for QMA?

 

[Rekkusu]

Nope, there aren't any tutorials for enrolment in BIOS1201, because your tutorial is incorporated into your first hour of BIO Lab.

@Survivor: Hmm, but in our course material book, it says that in most tutorials, we'll be receivng some quiz or something...but if its non-compulsory, so does that mean, we can attend our BIOS Lab like an hour later?

So, say if your Bio lab was 2pm-5pm, would it mean, that our labs would commence at 3-5pm?

*Also, most Maths tuts do not begin at the 1st week, in fact during your first week, it's mostly the profs telling you what to buy, what to get, where to head to for specific tuts, as well as safety procedures when heading into labs, though you do start to learn abit of your course. Then the tuts in week 2 repeat what you've learnt in week 1 lectures.

P.s. Anyone know if Language courses e.g. JAPN have tutorials on the first week? I heard like for almost all subjects, there aren't any tutorials in the first week.

 

[sikeveo]

there are labs in math?

damn, they should make the tute the last hour of the bios lab.

I am not sure whether they still have it. Due to the lack of fundings.... They have reduced the tut times from roguhly 8 hours in 2003, to about 3 hours in 2004, giving less opportunity for students to go and ask questions (for lecture materials, tut CD stuff and lab stuff).

As to attending your lab an hour later = NO! Your lab is your lab. In your timetable, the tut is NOT included. Your tut should be some time on Wednesday in the computer lab with Susan Sweller. She stays there for 3 hours waiting for students to come in randomly and ask questions.

 

[Rekkusu]

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification!! Gosh, you're like much more knowledgeable than the student central and the School of BABS, when I called Babs, they were like, your tutorial is already incorporated into your lab....not to mention, the person who was talking to me, kept on asking some other random guy whether this was the case... even then, that science personnel was stuttering abit.

>< My Bios lab is also on Wednesday, I hope their tutorial times are like wide...otherwise I suppose we could resort to WebCT online.

 

[Survivor39]

Thanks Rekkusu. I've found the Science Student centre pretty unhelpful too. As to the BABS office..well...what do they actually do again??!

 

[sikeveo]

Just to remind everyone, there are labs for bios1201 in the first week.
