Term Dates 2009/10

YogiBoy

I can't find an official calendar with dates for 2009-2010... I suppose they haven't been agreed. It looks however like we stasrt a week earlier, and finish 3 weeks earlier. Budget cuts, or they just want us all to have a great summer?

So am I right in thinking these are the dates...

Mon 21-Sep-09 UG Registration of students in first year / Freshers’ Week

28-Sep-09 Teaching Week 1 Registration of students in 2nd and later years

Friday 18 Dec - Teaching over.

18-Jan-10 Teaching Week 1

Friday 02-Apr-10 Good Friday

Friday 09-Apr-10 Hilary Term ends - Teaching over.

26-Apr-10 Annual Examinations begin

22-May-10 All annual Examinations finished at the latest

Some departments e-mailed around a calendar ages ago. I got the e-mail in January. Maybe thats the one you got all the dates from? I checked anyway and all those dates are right, according to the calendar we were sent.... except for Good Friday. It doesn't say when that is

An absolute disgrace. The heart and soul is being ripped out of this institution.

:rolleyes: First abbreviating the name to TCD and now changing the calendar to correspond to other European Universities. When will the madness end?

Snark all you like. But it's only a matter of time before the cold meats counter at in the Dining Hall will go, Commons is brought to an end, students will never see the inside of a building in Front Square, students come in at 9 and commute home at 5, the pursuit of a "qualification" is more important than an education, your average student doesn't know who Dr Hegarty is, *snip* and your degree is on a par with the university of Birmingham.

Oh wait...

Does anyone know if the two weeks marked 'Study' on the calendar above will be reading weeks for all courses? At the moment not all departments give study weeks during Michaelmas & Hilary terms; I know for example that history & most language depts don't. Will that change I wonder? Thanks!

Some courses such as engineering are probably gonna have a load of project work during that week.

I doubt it will change. They're marked study for those courses that do have a reading week. I wouldn't expect any course that doesn't already have one to suddenly get it - it'd be reducing the lecture time from 24 weeks to 22 weeks if that was the case.
