Core vs Tutorial?
So, I'm trying to put together a 'mock timetable' to get myself all organized before SOLAR opens up for me, and after searching for courses in the MASTER TIMETABLE, there are some courses that list C's AND T's (C01, C02, T01, T02).... what's the difference?




T or C ?!
I'm confuseddddd. Help me !

A "core" is like a lecture. That's the part where a professor stands at the front of the room, talks for an hour, and you write down notes.

A "tutorial" is when a small group of students from the class, usually 15-30, get together with a Teaching Assistant and discuss readings, take up homework, talk about assignments, write tests, etc. What you do in your tutorial depends on your class.

When signing up for a class, both the core and the tutorial are mandatory.
