Week 1 - We are on the move now

Today is the first day of the module proper, although I have been familiarising myself with it for a while now. Last Monday, my tutor emailed me about a tutorial they were hosting on Friday 10th October. I explored the module website a little further and I could see that all of the S283 tutorials were now ready for booking. There were 18 in total and only 7 different tutors, including my own. I'm not sure if this is a cluster-wide or module-wide ratio of staff to students. The first nine tutorials are listed here as an example of what lies ahead.

The forums are not exactly buzzing with tutorial news so I'm not what's going on here. I put all the tutorial dates in my diary and gave a copy to my wife. She needs to know these things.

My tutor group forum opened on Thursday 2nd but at the time of typing, there is no discernible activity at all on it. It doesn't help that there are too many fora to negotiate. There's a General discussion Forum, a Tutor group forum, a Café Forum, an Introduction to the Solar System Forum, an Introduction to Astrobiology Forum and a Revision and exam preparation Forum.
