Reading timetables

Hey, so I was trying to do my timetable but I see this thing like S1/08, S1/03 etc so I check the Uni site for help and it says it means "the number per week", which I don't understand what it means. Does it refer to it being the 8th or 3rd seminar of that module during that week? Or does it mean that your 3rd seminar will be on that day, during that time?

I am really confused. O.O

Also, I'm aiming to get a German module but for the 1b in spring it says that it does 1 Seminar per week for 1.5hrs and yet further down it says "Further Activity Details: 2.5--3 hours of class contact per week." What the heck?

What course do you do? (I can read timetables, just, only when I'm looking at them, in context!)
Link me to the module catalogue page for the German module too?

I can't even access the timetables - is it just me?

Nope - I get a "forbidden" when I try to open them!

I just can't connect to the timetabling server outside of campus :\

If I remember right, S1/03 would mean that it is the first Seminar (S) / group(/time) 3.
It is easier to explain with lectures, say you had L1/02 and L2/01. L1/02 means that it is the first lecture of the week for that subject, but at the second time-slot (so L1/01 and L2/02 are the exact same lecture, but at different times), and L2/01 is the second lecture of the week, at the first time-slot (so a different lecture to L1 in that week).

I hope that makes sense, it is fairly hard to explain.
