    Hi all,

    Can someone please clarify:

    1. Are lectures repeated? Is there more that one time slot available for each lecture? In other words, will I have a choice of a few time slots?

    Thanks

    Generally there will be only one timeslot for a lecture and you have choices of tutorial times.

    "Generally there will be only one timeslot for a lecture and you have choices of tutorial times."

    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by a time slot as opposed to a tutorial time?

    Lectures may be on twice a week, every week which can often give the impression that there is more than one slot. The cannot be moved. Some lectures may be on in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.

    Tutorials usually have more than one offering and have more time slots available for you to choose from.

    Is it a particular module you are wondering about?

    I'm doing History and English and I'll be commuting so I was hoping that i could avoid 9.00 am and 5.00 pm start times

    Earliest you will have will be English at 10, once a week. Latest finish you have so far is 4pm. You will have to pick tutorials and/or small meeting groups, but there are usually a number of options for them.

    Not this year. English at 10am on Tuesday in Sem 1 and 2. The rest are on at 2 and 3

    OP, when you pick the modules you want to do, there are set lecture times, so you can't choose when to go and as far as I know, are not repeated.

    Tutorials are different to lectures, it's essentially a small group and you go to a small classroom and do work on what is discussed in lectures and set out projects and stuff.

    For the tutorials, there are several small groups, so you can pick which tutorials you want to be in depending on time slots that suit your timetable / travel times.

    If you have lectures you can't make because of travel times, talk to your lecturer about it and they may send you on the notes each week, or they may just upload all the notes to blackboard anyway, and you can study them in your own time in the library or wherever.

    English:
    Literature in Context 1: Lecture Wednesday 3pm. (Semester 1)
    Writing the Body: Seminar Wednesday 10am. (Semester 1)
    Literature in Context 2: Lecture Wednesday 3pm. (Semester 2)
    The Essay: Seminar Wednesday 10am. (Semester 2)

    You have tutorials for the LIC modules but you can pick your own times and there's loads to choose from.

    History:
    The Making of Modern Europe: Lecture Wednesday 2pm. (Semester 1)
    Rome to Renaissance: Lecture Monday 3pm. (Semester 1)
    Contested Island: Lecture Monday 3pm. (Semester 2)
    Life in the Republic: Lecture Wednesday 2pm. (Semester 2)

    Again you'll have tutorials to pick, but there's loads to choose from so you should be grand commuting.

    The two struck out are incorrect.
    You have to do
    Coming Age of Narratives - Tues 10 - Sem 1
    Literary Genre - Tue 10 - Sem 2

    Sorry, don't do English myself so was just getting it off the module search! Cheers for the correction!

    You put up the English degree as a single major. Easy to do. English in Arts is different for some reason.
