Timetable

Troglodyte

Looked up my new timetable online, only to find that nothing on it starts before week 5. This seems a bit strange, am I missing anything here? And seemingly not all subjects are accounted for as regards Tutorials. Also found it strange (and annoying) that I have a seminar on Saturday 5pm. Boo-urns :mad:

EDIT: Just realised that Michelmas term begins a good while before October 9th. Funny I didn't remember that.

On the subject of timetables, any one find that it is quite well 'built', in the sense where there are large blocks of 'free' (Read library!) time and large blocks of lecture time.

It certainly beats the whole hour on - hour off timetable that I had a bit last year.

Is this a thing that 3rd/4th years get more compacted lecture time, while 1st/2nd get more spaced out? Or is it total co-incidence?

Does anybody know if any of the 3rd Engineering timetables are out yet?

Don't think so on the Engineering front - wandered into the School's office today and all the pigeon holes for the streams/years were empty.

SF Engineers got their timetable emailed to them today.

Is it normal for the timetable online to go up bit by bit? So far I only have 3 classes on, and I should have more.

On the SIS it goes up in bits and pieces, as the various different timetables are organised.

If your department give you a paper copy then it might be better to run with that, the SIS version sometimes fails to tally with reality.....

Thanks guys.

I'm doing Science and I have to say that our timetable is pretty tough going. We have plenty of tutorials, but altogether there's 28 hours of lectures in a week. Not bad, I suppose. I have no lunch break whatsoever on Thursdays, which displeases me

Oh well, that's college.

These timetables, do you get them during the introductory talk yokey for the course, or can you access them earlier? I've registered and have my username and password, or are they even available online?

Go to this site.

Log in using your college username and password.

Click Student Information System near the top left.

Finally, click Your Student Timetable.

The information on it may not be completely up to date yet. You can also view things like exam results, exam papers and your student record on this page.

Can you believe Nun had the audacity to deride the merits of the faculty meeting, at which that portal was highlighted, only to crawl back to these nice people to learn something he should have already known. The cheek, I say. The cheek!

Cheers xebec, only one of my modules appears to be listed so far, but that's progress at least! Given the initial code seems to have been cracked, how necessary would it be now that I go to one of these ISS introduction things?

Good idea to go, doesn't take long and you might pick up a few things that you'd be wondering about afterwards. They give a good introduction to how the library works too, which most people will be lost without.
