1.3 Lectures

1.3 LECTURES

The duration of lectures is 50 minutes. UCC is a large campus and mobility can be an issue, therefore the starting and ending times of lectures are extremely important. Lectures begin at 5 minutes past the hour and end at 5 minutes to the hour to allow students (and lecturers alike) to make the journey across campus where necessary. Many lecturers allow a few minutes at the end of a lecture for students to ask questions. This time should be within the normal lecture time, rather than additional to it.

Every student registered for a programme is expected to attend all lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes etc. In the case of absence through illness, a student must, if possible, give notice of each absence in writing to the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department responsible. Students must give notice along with a medical certificate,

where possible, following more than three days absence for medical reasons to the

Student Records and Examinations Office (1st Floor, West Wing, Main Quadrangle).

Lecture room equipment

Lecturers should request equipment (projectors etc.) from the General Services Office (ext. 2265) before each course commences. Equipment normally available in each room is detailed at room facilities. Other matters which may arise about the conditions and facilities of the lecturing areas should also be referred to the General Services Office.
