Click on the link for the Timetablein the semester concerned and then enterCity,theStcourse00000code (e.g. MATH1050). This will give youthe day, time and venue for each of the classes in a given course. You should check mySI-netregularly; just before the beginning of semester and for a few weeks into the new semester to checkwhether there has been any change of venue for your class.Symbols ExplainedSymbols are used in the timetable to indicate the type of class contact. After the eight-digit coursecode, e.g. PHYS1001, a number of other letters and numbers usually appear. These indicate theclass contact type. The first symbol denotes the kind of contact:C = General Contact, perhaps a group learning situation.L = Lecture, usually in an auditorium or theatre, of core course matter.P = Practical, consisting of laboratory workT = Tutorial, a small class environment characterised by discussion and peer interaction, oftensupplementary to lectures.If there is more than one lecture each week for the course and you are expected to attend each one,the classes will be shown in the style L. There is new material in each class.If the enrolment in a course is larger than one lecture theatre can hold, there is a choice of lecturestreams and you are required to attend all the lectures each week in a stream. These lectures willbe labelled L1, L1, L1, L2, L2, L2. You choose group 1 or 2 and attend each lecture in that stream.You may be required to sign on electronically to the stream of lectures you’ve chosen to attend.Practical and tutorial classes are labelled (T1, T2, and T3 etc). This means you must choose oneclass to attend at one of the times given.Check the 2010 Enrolment Guide on mySI-net for more information.Page 8
