Tutor and tutorial news

I was given my tutor allocation on Thursday so I can send TMA00 off. It's been sitting on my laptop for a while now. Normally at this point I would look up my tutor on LinkedIn because I like to know who I'm up against, but my tutor is also running the Boot camp so I know quite a lot about them already. On Friday, they sent an email asking me to respond, but addressing me as 'Dear Student' wasn't a great start. I responded as asked, but the lackluster reply could also have been better worded.



Tutorials were open for booking as well, and there are three opportunities to attend for each topic, occasionally facilitated by one tutor but mostly by two. I recognised some tutors from SM123, mostly good, but also an under par one. Easily avoidable though. I've only booked one so far, I'll see how it goes. I think I overdid it a tad with my last module so I'll use these more sparingly this time around. Most of the tutorials on S284 are pre-recorded and available on demand, and this will be my main source of tuition I suspect.
