Group practical work

Yes, I know it isn't popular but collaboration is one of those skills that employers look for, and although I'm unlikely to work in science again I can fully understand why it's in a level 1 science course and I intend to give it my best shot.

8 (out of nominally 20) of us have thrown their hat into the ring and told our group tutor that we are up for it and ready to go. We work in groups of 4 and there is, unfortunately, very little activity in either of the two groups at the moment. I hope things liven up soon.

Typing of which, I attended (remotely of course) the third of the 4 skills tutorials that were hastily put on for us. The second one on Microsoft Excel didn't happen because the tutor didn't turn up. No explanation given for that, which I think is a bit of a poor show really. This one however was very good. It was on Microsoft Word, which didn't sound too exciting but it was all stuff relevant to submitting TMAs and how tutors like them set out. Can't fault either the content or the delivery and I told the tutor at the time that the presentation was excellent, which it definitely was. It was a shame that only 9 students attended out of about 670 or so.
