Tutorial Schedule<br />
Tutorials will be held once a week beginning the second week of the semester. You should<br />
consult Queens online (https://learn.qol.qub.ac.uk/home/) to sign up for your tutorial<br />
groups. You are advised to do this as soon as possible to be sure you sign up for a<br />
suitable time. Once tutorial groups are full, students will be automatically blocked from<br />
signing up. Tutorials are compulsory in the School, and tutorial participation (see below)<br />
counts for 10% of your final grade. If you cannot attend a tutorial for legitimate reasons,<br />
you MUST contact your tutor beforehand to explain your absence (contact either directly or<br />
through the School Office). You must make every effort to acquire the class material if you<br />
are absent.<br />
