timetable

vamos 77

does anyone know when and where we get our official timetable this week?

Have you tried your department yet? When you get your username and password you should, after changing the password, check out the Student Information System: http://isservices.tcd.ie/portal/

I actually have a similar question, cos the secretary said the timetables went online yesterday, but I can't get mine through the SIS portal thingy...would they be anywhere else??

sternn

I dont register until thursday...and i really need my timetable soon because i have to tell my boss. Are they posted anywhere else??

Marshy

Got my timetable online there, but its frustrating because no-one actually tells you where to find it. It was only through talking to a 2nd year that I was told to log in to the SIS.

smurfette2212

So am I the only person whose timetable isn't on SIS?? It's just a blank timetable! Could it be anywhere else??

SIS timetables are not reliable.

Go to your department notice board, if you don't know where that is, go to your department office and ask. If you don't know where that is go to the Arts block for any arts / Bess course and the departments are listed in the boards on the stair wells, Law is in new square and the science / engineering end is in the Hamilton.

Failing that, go to a random department office and ask where your department is.

1st year comp sci here. I tried to do that but there was no timetable I could find. I asked a woman there who said I could get it online when I register

I'll be working a stand with some comp sci students tomorrow so can ask if you want.

Um, what? Engineering is based in the Museum Building with the individual departments scattered around the place. It has Elk skeletons. Frickin' deadly Elk skeletons. Engineering Timetables are on the first floor. You enter the Museum Building, go right up the stairs (yes, I meant right), and then under a wooden arch, go right again, and you should see a noticeboard with the timetables behind them. Paper versions will be on your left. Just explore that area.

Comp Sci is in the O'Reilly (adjoined onto the Hamilton, to the left as you're walking towards it) as well as a few others. If you go up the stairs going into the Hamilton (which I saw were cleaned recently) and then go left, through the double glass doors, and then the first left, you'll find yourself in a hallway with red seats possibly still on your left. The CS secretary's office used to be just at the entrance and I think there are timetables there, if not stuck to the window pane so that you can see them from the stairs entrance. Of course, the whole point of putting something outside for CS students to read is funny in itself

Remember. Elks.

Not to mention here.

Tsk, my timetable's changed again for at least the third time, after having been given out supposedly finished timetables today in orientation! I'm not sure if the one online now is the correct version or the one given earlier. (JF Mathematics btw).

Just checked my timetable for the first time there.

Is Friday Lab day or something? Should labs be on the timetable?

MissyRock

I eventually found my timetable in the Hamilton today after some random walking and asking a wonderful lady who showed me where they were. After going online I'm a bit confused. There are labs on the paper timetable that I should be doing as well as lectures, but aren't online. Which is more reliable?

balzarywex

Places in labs aren't assigned until next week afaik. For each subject, there are three slots, one of which you must attend depending on constraints of your timetable.
There should be a big list put on the noticeboard of names and times around the start of next week on the JF noticeboard outside the BTC office in the Hamilton/ chemistry notcieboard outside the Cocker lab in the Hamilton. Don't know about physics!
They should automatically appear on your online timetable next week at your appropriate slot. Same deal with tutorials I think aswell...
Oh and if its for biology, try and avoid the 2-5pm bio lab on Friday afternoon, especially if you don't live in Dublin. The 6 o clock buses/trains are never pretty!

You are my new best friend! Why couldn't they say that to us?? I definitely have Friday off next week then!

Hey,

Are there Labs for Maths or Geography/Geology?

Thanks........ this is for th Natural Science DEgree

balzarywex

Eh I didn't do geog/geol but I'm pretty sure there's like a 1 or 2 hour geology lab each week, identifying different rocks and whatnot. No geography.

If you're doing full maths, you've got a one hour lab each week for first term - creating a website and using mathematica (basically a very very fancy calculator). For maths methods, the labs are in second term and involve similar stuff, maybe a bit easier, like using spreadsheets etc.

EDIT: Just looked at the maths site now, and you only have two maths modules (full maths) this year as opposed to three. Richard Timoney is still lecturing though and it mentions labwork so I guess its the same stuff like!

Could someone please help me with my timetable? I'm doing Philosophy and Political Science. I got my timetable today, and it literaaly makes no sense to me. According to it, my lectures don't start for another 4 weeks or so!?!

Kurtosis

What I'm guessing is you're seeing slots on your timetable with:

Weeks: 5-13

or

Wks 5-10

or something similar to above. The deal is that the college year technically began in the second week of September, so this was Week 1. Fresher's Week, in a completely roundabout way, is actually Week 4 of the college year. So you're lectures/tutorials etc. begin next week and you won't be lounging around til' after Halloween!

the flananator

Oh ok, cool man thats really helpfull thanks a lot!

Corruptedmorals

Ughh, there's so many gaps in the middle of the day, then loads of stuff at 4/5. 3 9 O clocks a week.

Out of interest, were you at the DUCSS talk?
