Whats this about sociology essays? I've heard nothing???

What do we have to do for the tutorial this week?

billy the squid · 29-09-2009 10:32pm

Your tutorial assignment for this week is on SULIS. It is about citation.

SO4001 SEM1 > Resources > Tutorial assignments.

Don't ask me about the tutorial assignment for week five as it looks rather nasty and way over my head.

Your first sociology essay is due on October 28. The details of which are also availible on SULIS under Resources > Mid Term Paper.

Keeping track of work is confusing

And I'm skipping the AL lecture today. No way am I wasting my time. I'll got to the labs but that's it.

I would concur with this. Some modules put their stuff on SULIS, others put them on servers only accessible on campus. If only they would all put their stuff in the one place.

Ignorant joggers thinking they own the ****ing bowl. :mad:

About 50 of them just walked across our training tonight, ignoring our pleas to go around.

Lazy pr1cks. :mad:

my politics tutor is an asshole

snazzy · 30-09-2009 5:45pm

Who is your tutor?
No no not allow name and shame.
Time of tutorial?

Cos' I'm not too fond of mine at the moment either. Massive headache. He dived right in! Totally lost.

Busi_Girl08 · 30-09-2009 5:49pm

What is it with these stupid tutorials where we do nothing but stupid "projects" rather than actually learn anything?! The reason we go to tutorials is to get extra help with the heavy theory from the lectures :mad:

It really is a waste of time

Arcade Panda · 01-10-2009 2:23am

I have it on a wednesday at 2....I have no idea what hes talkin about ever!!

ACADEMIC LITERACY SUFFERERS

So had a class meeting today with our course director who is as sound as a pound and our class rep was saying that she has had a load of complaints about it as have loads of other class reps over the Humanities Faculty and that they are all getting together to discuss the module.

Course director said that the reason we have to do it is because
A/ New law yoke came in across Europe that changed the system from 24 credits to 30 across the board to make things fairer which results in 5 modules.
and B/ They wanted to help students with academic writing because from Semester 2, all we will be accessed upon is our writing and written assignments and the standard of essays in recent years have been particularly crap so they wanted to help us

But we kicked up a huge fuss saying in that case, make the module more relevant and practical as opposed to treating us like Junior Certs and telling us how to study.
So think people are going to the Education Officer to have an ole discussion and try to improve the module because we'll have to do it next semester too!

So there ye go. :rolleyes:

Ffs, only open from 11:30 - 12:30 and then 2:30 - 4:30.
Whats up with that?
Approx 10,000 students on campus, and the fees office opens for 3 hours a day!!
Thats a fecking disgrace :mad:

Oh yes! Trying to study for a HR mid-term, and I'm seriously struggling to stay awake

Busi_Girl08 · 07-10-2009 3:56pm

Right. That's it. I am finished with the HR tutorials. They are a complete waste of time :mad:

The whole printer network is a convoluted pile of poo.

Was in the Library on Wednesday and hit the print button. You'll never guess where my work was printed.

On a printer in the Shuman Building! I mean, how the christ did that happen.

I didn't know that was even possible o.O

Whatever about SULIS not working, but everytime I open my outlook there's a new bloody resource!!

Also, pre-reg - they're breathing down our necks to get it done, but they'd want to make sure it works wouldn't they!! I tried to PR on Monday - wouldn't let me confirm my choices, which are perfectly valid, I would think seeing as they were the same choices I have for this semester!! E-mailed SAA for help, good luck getting a reply. Tried to get on to PR today - the link has completely dissappeared from my portal! 0_X If I get in trouble for this I may kill someone....

snazzy · 09-10-2009 10:20am

For pre ref, where should the link be on your home page?

There is a big box talking about it but nowhere to go do it?! :eek:

And no-one told us about it. Learnt about it from those journals!

thomond2006 · 09-10-2009 11:38am

What the **** is up with the UL Portal?

It never lets me in! :mad:

Blondiegirl2009 · 09-10-2009 12:25pm

I hate getting up for a 9am tutorial only for it to be the most pointless thing you have ever endured! Oh good lord!

Seriously like at Masters level you'd assume that they would have a structure and a tutor who answered with more something more exact than "I suppose" and "Ammmm" or "Maybe" .. FFS

Can someone tell me what political acedemics talked about before Karl Marx came along?

DJCR · 09-10-2009 6:16pm

While I realise they provide a passable service I am getting sick of the spam!!

4 emails about pre-registering for the damn careers fair!!!

Great, I get it, I won't have to queue!! I'll be put into a draw for an IPOD I already have - Savage!!!

Truth is, I would have done it earlier but I can't print anything because once again I've used all the credit on my print account!! So how can I print off my slip that lets me skip this massive queue ( that consisted of about 2 people the last time - I waited for a grand total fo 5 seconds)

What a load of bollix!!:mad:
