I took it last term and there were no tutorials the first week of class. Double check though!
Also, I did the discussion group and I loved it. I volunteered before at a nursing home, and although it's an equally rewarding experience, I didn't interact with the residents as much, simply because it was so large and I only went 3 hours a week and I barely interacted with the same people twice. Also, it's really hard for someone to monitor you or give you a specific task (usually), so you're more into finding stuff to do yourself. That's how it was for me anyway. But all the people who volunteered did get their 10% full. The discussion groups however were with 2 older adults and I loved just listening to their stories, share their opinions and points of view on certain topics we discussed in the presentation. It was such a valuable experience and I'm glad I did it despite being a little iffy and nervous about it at the beginning. Also, the class assistants were super nice and we all got 10% if we didn't miss any discussion groups and such. It was definitely worth it! Also, it's on campus and you don't have to go anywhere
and the sign up process is less of a hassle than volunteering (get there early to get your preferred timeslot and topic!)
