    Got a very handy timetable myself this year, exam on the 19th and 20th then 3 day gaps between the next two \o/ Lots of cramming time.

    Only 2 exams came up on my portal page they're both semester 1 modules do you only do 1 exam for the year long modules at the end of the year? With that much time to study for just 2 tests I'm sorted.

    Rarely. I go to the tutorials and labs but don't go to the lectures much because I can learn 5 times as much in an hour by just reading the books. I'll go to them next week and see what the crack is though.

    I'm more or less the same, I end up losing interest in lectures but I can study better by myself.

    Yeah sitting in front of a computer with wikipedia and google open while your reading the book is a much more effective method of learning isn't it. On top of that you can find lectures on about anything on youtube which beats actually being at the lecture cuz you don't get to rewind the lecturer when you miss something in real life. Fair play to MIT for putting all their courseware online

    the only other college I've found that does that is Berkeley

    I have 4 but I should have 5 (got exempt from one :) ). Timetable looks pretty nice, have a good week off in between the first and last 2. Finding it damn hard to get stuck in to study though with all this xmas buzz. So many drinking sessions and reunions, think I just have to face facts that I'm gonna get **** all done until after xmas when things die down. Should be enough time though to get busy with study. Best of luck to ye all and have a happy xmas!
