Week 5: Assessment Clinics, RLF 'special', ST Sessions, IWA deadline

This may be stating the obvious, but Week 5 is a really important stage of the course, in terms of shaping how you fare in the two assessment exercises. Between the various sessions we have lined up for you this week, there will be ample time to get together with your team and work on your project.

Early in the day, there will be an optional Assessment Forum where you can seek clarification on any points of interest, on the Team Project or IWA. We will have myself (Alice), Jeanna and Peter from the marking team on hand to assist. Bring your questions to class!

We also have a 'special' session from our friends at the Royal Literary Fund. More on this on Wednesday, but this is an extra lecture geared towards assisting you when you start your courses in September.

Our Student Tutors will also be hosting a workshop this week to give you the chance to meet other students and STs. Perhaps you've not had the chance to chat to Rhiordan about life at Stirling, Donald about working on lasers at Heriot-Watt or Haya to ask 'what is spatial design?' This will be a chance to do so.

Finally, the IWA is to be submitted via the Assessment section in the Academic Skills pages on Learn by 12noon Friday 7 July. More details here...
