Your Course Organiser

Nicholas d'Ambrumenil is in charge of all the teaching. Michael Pounds (PS102), the Director of Student Experience, is available to help with any issue which affects you.

Teaching

After two years at Warwick you will be familiar with our teaching methods and the use of questionnaires to obtain feedback on the individual modules. You are reminded that if you feel that there are serious problems with a course that should be addressed immediately you should discuss the matter with the person giving the module, with your Personal Tutor, with the Director of Studies, or raise it with one of your Staff Student Liaison Committee representatives.

Your Personal Tutor

Normally you will retain the same personal tutor you had last year. Whilst your personal tutor will not organise group Academic Tutorials this year it is important that you remain in regular contact with your tutor. You should see them at least at the beginning and end of each term to discuss your progress and option choices.

During this year you will probably begin to think about what you want to do when your course finishes (if you have not already done so). Your tutor can be a very useful source of information in this respect and therefore it is a good idea to discuss your intentions with them.

Examples Sheets

Example sheets are distributed as a complete set (comprising 2 or 3 examples for every three lectures) by the Lecturer at the beginning of a particular module. The purpose of these examples is three-fold:

1. To facilitate the development of skill in problem solving in areas related to the lecture modules
2. To assist in proper assimilation of the module material.
3. To provide valuable experience which will be of considerable help in the April and June Examinations.

Copies of the solutions will be distributed to pigeon holes by the Undergraduate Office (Room 565), about 2 weeks after the module has finished. If you have difficuties with these problems you should consult the relevant lecturer.

Past Examination Papers

Cpies of past exam papers are available on-line as are model solutions to at least one year of papers.

Reminders

In your first year you were informed of the department's policy towards the late submission of assessed work and the University's regulations on cheating. These, of course apply equally this year, but note that the University wide penalty for late submission of assessed work is now 5% of the original total available credit off per day (or part day) late. You are also reminded that the marks you obtain this year count 30% towards your final degree classification and that you must obtain an overall mark in excess of 50% this year to be permitted to proceed to the fourth year. If you do not achieve this you will considered for the award of a BSc degree on the basis of your marks over the three years.
