 23/24 Semester 1

• REF: 66-2312-3212902 - Mathematics Timetable

  Your comment: Our timetable (first year mathematics students) for semester 2 currently has Thursdays as 6 hours straight, all in different buildings so we won't be able to eat lunch etc in the ten-minute gaps either. Originally, this was brought up in the rep meeting and it had changed to a more manageable timetable. However, it has now changed back to 6 hours full on. I know the timetable is not fully decided on until just before teaching starts again but I would like to draw attention to this before it is too late.

  Our response:

  Thank you for providing feedback on the semester 2 timetable for year 1 Mathematics students. Please be assured that we are aware of this issue and are working closely with staff in the department to resolve the scheduling problems on Thursdays. Your timetable will be updated with the new schedule of teaching activities before we close for the Christmas break

 22/23 Semester 2

• REF: 66-2301-6277411 - Past Paper Examples

  Your comment: Many modules only have the past 2 years worth of past paper module solutions, however, these were both completed at home exams so the questions were very different to the standard questions asked this year. So when trying to revise the sort of questions that are going to be asked this year there were no model answers to check your work.

  Our response:

  Thanks for your comment: you're right that some questions were different in take home exams, generally because it wasn't possible to include book work (statements of theorems, standard proofs, etc.) last year. Our idea was that it is straightforward to check your work on these sorts of questions because they are available in the lecture notes for each module. If there are still questions for which you would like feedback on your revision, please contact the relevant lecturer.
