1.2 Timetables

Module Examinations

The term “examination” refers to all elements of assessment of student work that will contribute to the final mark (continuous assessment, project work, work experience, end of year exams etc). Module examination practices can vary, depending on the module. The module outline should include information about the nature of the examination involved.

Consulting past examination papers is a good way to study, but you should always consult with lecturers on comparability. Aspects of modules such as content, or means of assessment can change over time.

1.2 TIMETABLE

You will be provided with a copy of your official timetable at your first year Orientation Day. “It will also be made available on Canvas. PLEASE NOTE! Occasionally, in the first few weeks of each semester, timetables and lecture locations can change so you are advised to check Canvas regularly for any changes.

• Tutorials are NOT normally listed on the Timetable. Students should check with Course Lecturers and Departments for tutorial details once term begins.

Timetables can be difficult to read initially however with a little bit of practise it gets easier. • The lecture hours are listed across the top of the table and the days down the left hand column. • Three pieces of information are given within individual lecture slots – the

Subject Code e.g. AC1100, the Venue Code e.g. C-LL-2 (Boole Lecture Theatre 2) and the weeks in which the lectures run. • To identify the location of the lecture or tutorial,refer to the building codes section on the website

There can be issues with simultaneous course requirements of different Departments e.g. student timetable conflicts, difficulties with work schedules, excessive combined workload etc. Should this happen – you need to raise the issue as soon as possible so that action can be taken. There are agreed procedures for resolving these difficulties which place the responsibility upon the Departments rather than on you, the student. If the problem cannot be resolved quickly in this way, the matter may be referred to the appropriate Programme Director/Coordinator.

Departments should not reschedule classes on the timetable at times that conflict with students’ other subject(s). (The timetable site is also useful to check room availability, capacity and facilities)
