Quick Question about Term 2
What is the schedule going to be like exactly? I know that there won't be any tutorials for the first week, but is there anything else I should expect?

I forgot what Term 1 was like during the first week.

I am just really nervous about starting Term 2 tomorrow.

Uhm... first of each class is more often than not an introductory lecture, but some professors do like to start actual content ASAP.

pretty much the same deal. No labs or tutorials the first week (double check when you go to your classes as some could be different). Just go to the core classes you have tomorrow and they'll go over the course outlines and whatnot.

I can't wait to go to class and make the people around me feel awkward.


I don't think there are tuts during the first week.

It'll probably be a general intro to the course, instructor, TA's, course components and maybe a short overview of the professor's research and course content. Usually, the first lecture is pretty basic, but as early as the second lecture they'll start the course material right away

Only go to tutorial or labs if your professor have told you they have started. Generally they tell you in the first class but sometimes they'll tell you in an e-mail or through avenue/learnlink/whatever else.

For first year courses it's generally no tutorials or labs this week though. Sadly in upper years it's not always the case. I already had my first lab today >.>
