As an introduction to the courses each lecturer could record a short video message for students to see - that is up close and has a personal touch to it.  ]]> 2020-05-14 18:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/danielKBS/4kwovyc7bh5x/wish/573429045 Student Journey - UG Year 1 https://padlet.com/danielKBS/4kwovyc7bh5x/wish/576458507 August - A level results

September: Get your timetable for the new school year, go back to freshers club nights, help induct first years, lead society groups, go to 'returning students' induction, first classes jump right into the material.
October: Stress-free month, not many assignments, reading week (travel), Amplify trading course, academic rep elections, planning for the ball begins.
November: Reading week ends, stress month begins. All assignments given to you at once, while classes are getting more advanced, also while midterms are happening. Weather getting colder AKA depression :). Make plans for winter break.
December: Finish classes, get to work on assignments due in Jan.  Study for exams later on in the month. Either go home to see family, or family comes to see you, days off to visit Christmas markets, do holiday things.
January: Cram for exams, pull all nighters to finish papers, then head straight back to school to start new material. First term classes disappear like you never took them.
February: Same as October, stress free month, reading week (travel), finish planning for the ball, keep working on academic rep stuff (workstreams, etc).
March: Business Ball! Otherwise a very stressful month, deadlines, midterms, planning for finals. 

but then coronavirus happens and everything goes to s***.
