It was so lovely to see everyone again (well almost everyone...what you cant get one with EVERYONE on your course!). I cant wait to get back properly but this year is going to be really tough! I already knew it was going to be difficult but after some rather horrific statistics from our lecturers I am now even more determined to graduate with a first class degree at the end of this academic year. Im going to work my socks off and if you know me personally then you will know that once I get something into my head then I WILL get it done!
But anyway back to the induction... We were given lots of helpful sessions throughout the 5 hour sitting (which sounds really bad but when you factor in a one hour lunch its really not that long) we were refreshed on word counts, referencing, academic writing and given LOADS of useful tips on how to avoid silly mistakes in assigments and how to get our writing up to a first class standard. Although some people didnt attend the induction session (for whatever reason) I think that they seriously missed out on some useful information as to how to get those high marks and also on how to keep improving our writing as we progress through the year.
We were also given new personal tutors this year as quite a few staff had left over the summer months so lots of people did not have personal tutors anymore (me being one of them as my personal tutor had left :( ), im really happy with my new personal tutor and lots of my friends were also really happy with theirs too. Its always good to have a personal tutor that you feel you can speak to because you never know what may happen over the year and they are the best person to go and speak to about any problems that arise, no matter how silly you think it is, and I think the Law department do this really well. I dont think there are any of the lecturers there that I feel I couldnt go to with a problem. Which is one of the things I love most about my university :)
Anyway I must dash I have work to do! :)
