hey,
i find it easier to have the lectures first and the tutes after...the lecture is generally the lecturers interpretation of the readings and then the tute is where u get to discuss the weekly readings
hope the info helps

4 lectures in one day??starrysky said:
Ouch, that's either going to hurt your back carrying 4 textbooks, hurt your brain trying to concerntrate or if it was me I'll probably end up not going at all after week 3.
If you're still going ahead with lectures all in one day, you should schedule tutorials for earlier in the week, as you'll probably want Friday to be a day of sleep.
Yeah, heh. They're actually three consecutive lectures (the one for my Psychology unit is two hours) in the same theatre, but now I'm thinking of spreading everything over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, since I have a lecture for my elective unit on Wednesday too.
But thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

wow im confused...I though lectures is where you listen to your professor talk about the subject and tutes is where you go and get worksheets and do exercises.
Can someone tell me exactly what happens in a tute and a lecture? and is it ok to have a tute before a lecture

Lectures are where you get information, where they will just talk to you about what you need to learn and they teach stuff. Tutes is where your in smaller class sizes and you get to ask the tutor questions about the lecture, you may also be given homework in lectures to be completed in tutes, etc. It's alright to have a tute before a lecture because you will be going over the previous lectures work, that's why there aren't usually any tutorials for week one as you haven't been given anything in the lectures.

ah thnx wooz, oh and one more thing about the lectures on the timetable...for eaxample 200237 Mathematics for engineers and other subjects has lectures for 3pm-5pm and 6pm-7pm are we suppose to attend those two sessions? Is that like an hour lunch break or one is for part time students or something?

That may apply to you since your an arts psyc student where you have one lecture one tutorial but this is not the case in most other fields so please be careful of what you post.
Yes, read your timetable rules.
"Students must attend and register online in the following:
2 x lectures
1 x tutorial
Tutorials begin in week 2, therefore students only attend the lecture in Week 1."
They've given you a break between lectures as they are both compulsory and have broken it up since it is too long for one straight lecture.

It's your choice the bad thing is you could be late for your next lecture/tute but they normally finish a little early so yeh you'll have to eat, etc on the go.krisspy said:

It's not advised, especially in first year when you're just settling into Uni.krisspy said:
Also especially if you have a short attention span (like me), you could end up drifting off during class, so potentially wasting your own time, money, effort and risking a fail grade. But if you think you can hack 6 hours in a row for 14 weeks, then go for it.

Practicals will be those hands on classes where you will prob experiment with CAD software, theorise, view use and exp with eng materials, design things etc. It really depends on what type of eng you do.OMGRX7 said:

tutorials are where you review the lectures, for example do questions on mechanics and all that stuff.
