I had a couple of tutorials last week, which were both very different to each other. One was on Python and run by a very seasoned OU physics tutor. It was very basic, but in the past students have struggled with the Python component of the course so I can understand why these events are put on.
The other tutorial was a 'deep dive' into the Topic 1 - Forces part of the course. I wasn't looking forward to it because the tutor advertised the use of 'breakout rooms' with students working in small groups. That really isn't my thing at all but in the end it wasn't that bad. It was a bit more advanced than what was actually required to understand that part of the course, but it was still very good nonetheless. I've had that tutor before and this tutorial was just as good as the previous one.
Next week is 'Python week' and I'm looking forward to the tutorials on computer programming as a bit of light relief to the last few days. I've struggled a bit with the 'baked bean can on a chopping board' practical write up even though it should be familiar material to me. A combination of looking for properties to buy and coping with what appeared to be gastric flu, or something similar to it, has really not helped at all.
