    Hey,

    I heard a rumour the other day that in order to pass first year, you must attend a minimum of 3 PASS classes during the year. Can anyone say if this is true or just rubbish? I haven't needed to go along to any PASS sessions so far because I haven't been struggling but now I'm concerned I might be screwing myself by not going. Any info appreciated!

    Not as far as i know anyway, PASS is the stuff for people who are struggling and other students give them advice,am i right? If so the 3 class thing is for people who want to go on to be PASS people themselves.

    no you don't have to unless you want to be a pass leader in second year you have to attend 6 cause in second year its worth 5 credits or something :) but if you are stuck for an assignment they are good to know ;)

    As mentioned it's more for people who want to teach PASS but also for students who want to get to know classmates.
