So apparently my Scottish 2 lectures changes rooms on Thursdays, which I was not aware of and missed it... again! Thank god I know a few people in the lecture and they said I could copy their notes (yippee!). But here is the killer, I went to the library (10mins) before my lecture was supposed to start to check rooms when I realized again I was sitting in the wrong lecture. Rushed to a computer, signed on, waited impatiently, signed on again and looked up my class all in 6 minutes. Found out my class was in the next building in lecture room B. I quickly signed off, ran out of the library, booked it to the DHT center and found the lecture hall. Within two minutes looked around, didn't recognize anyone and realized...wrong lecture. Now, I am not one to get embarrassed a lot, but decided it would be really awkward to show up late to a lecture and leave after three minutes. So I stayed and listened to some lady talk about geometry and building zones and how cities came about. It wasn't all that bad, some what interesting, but it gave me some time to write down questions to ask my teacher about an essay.
When I got back to my room I looked up the room again and if I kept reading when I first looked it up I would have seen that it says semester 2 lectures will be held in Hugh Robson Building. Lets hope next week I remember this and actually go to all the lectures!!
I enjoyed that.... Students normally get up and leave my lectures if they realise they are in the wrong room (some get up and leave when they realise they are in the right room and it is me on again). It happens a lot.
ReplyDeleteDon't you have electronic timetables that can dump-down to a mobile phone? Or, can you produce a printed list?
Plus, we have a system called ReCap that records lectures and makes the slides and audio available online. Do you have that?
No this Uni stinks haha! I did receive a printed list of my schedule, and it does have where they are meeting, but I threw out the sheet that listed my lecture for Scottish Literature (oops!).
ReplyDeleteAnd no we don't have a system called ReCap, at least I don't think so. They do put the lecture slides online, but they are just quotes from different books so that wouldn't really help me, but oh well they say you don't have to go to the lectures anyways haha!
Get to the lectures....
