The Master Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Next semester I have 5 9am starts, a day with 6 hours between 2 lectures, another with 5 hours between 2 lectures. It doesn't get much better in semester 2 either. And that's before I've put any tutorials in. Boo fucking hoo. Is it any wonder Dickson is always moaning about students... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Once upon a time I thought that was what I wanted to do, a part of me is still a frustrated teacher! When/if I finish at Uni this time, I'll be done with getting academic qualifications forever, I hope. yes, because you'll have run out of academic qualifications to go for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 English Language & English Literature. No, won't have to pay fees as the A-Levels were sat at a Scottish school. What Scottish schools do A levels? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 yes, because you'll have run out of academic qualifications to go for. Well yes, that too! Although I did have a student in one of my classes last year who was doing a MSc in Computing...despite already having a PhD in History. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Semester One Monday:- Property Lecture (9-10), Tax Lecture (4-5) Tuesday:- Politics Lecture (9-10), Law and Government Lecture (1-2), Tax Lecture (4-5) Wednesday:- Politics Lecture (9-10) Thursday:- Politics Lecture (9-10), Law and Government Lecture (1-2), Tax Lecture (4-5) Friday:- Law and Government Lecture (9-10, weeks 1-4 only), Property Lecture (3-4) Semester Two Monday:- Property Lecture (11-12, weeks 5-8 only), Business Organisations Lecture (12-1) Tuesday:- Politics Lecture (9-10), Commercial Law (4-5) Wednesday:- Politics Lecture (9-10) Thursday:- Politics Lecture (9-10), Property Lecture (12-1, weeks 5-8 only), Commercial Law Lecture (4-5) Friday:- Property Lecture (9-10), Business Organisations Lecture (12-1) Likely to fit-in a Politics Tutorial on Wednesday at 11 if possible. Still waiting to see when the Law Tutorial options are. Basically looks like 10-11 hours of lectures a week plus 5 or 6 hours of tutorials. Not horrendous, but the big gaps and late finishes are, if anything more annoying than the early starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, grow a set and give yourself the day off on a Wednesday. Put your Politics Tutorial on another day and make Wednesday of catching up with all subjects or get a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 No idea yet when I'm supposed to be going back. From this year on I'll technically be a student at Napier Uni, but will be studying at my college. I'm jumping in to the 3rd year of a degree, after passing my HNC and HND. I'm sure my tutor last year said the end of September, but folk I know doing the same course at Napier are going back in about 2 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris. Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Congratulations, you're now automatically better than Stuart Dickson. I knew that anyway. Napier, you say? Congrat...*snigger*...ulations Sort of. I'm listed as one of their students, but I'll never have to step foot in the place. I wanted to do the final year of the BSc at college, and it's only offered through Napier, so didn't have much choice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 One of the modules I've picked for this semester is drugs and alchohol addiction studies which is completely online. Looks interesting too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekender Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm going to the Uni of the West of Scotland in Paisley to do Computer Animation - got into third year as well. Get in and get it right fucking up anyone who didn't! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Planning on jumping ship, Supras? I actually am, the one issue being that drugs are legalised and my career path evaporates. Prohibition till 2022 . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC_GJS Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Just looked at my timetable for second year and its confusing. If possible I want a Thursday afternoon off so I can work but I can't work out if thats possible as the timetable shows all the tutorials/labs you only chose 1 of 3 or 4 and doesnt say whats a lecture and whats a lab/tutorial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
