Module Timetable Clashes!

I've been trying to sort out my modules for Combined Social Sciences for a while today and am struggling.

When I put my chosen modules into the timetable checker, I get at least 1 clash and around 8/9 possible clashes!

What can I do about this?

Does this mean I definitely can't do this selection or do they allow you to miss/re-arrange certain lectures/praticals?

There was also something about if 3 or 4 practicals a week come up on the timetable, you only have to go to 1?

Yours confuzzledly,

Ello, am in the process of working out my module choices for combined social sciences too! very exciting! Which subjects are u doing? I'm still undecided so have a module short list of about 8 but I dont seem to get any clashes regardless of the combination. I did get one yellow clash with a tutorial but apparently that doesnt matter, only the red clashes matter coz they are lectures. And if ur lectures clash I dont think there is a hell of a lot they can do. Are u getting red or yellow clashes? It says on the website that email them or phone them if u get major clashes coz sometimes they can work it out if lots of people want to do the same combination...Hope this helps slightly!

Don't bother. The timetable is only provisional at the moment and WILL change. They also show ALL available practical slots. You may have heard about the Big Timetable Fiasco last year, with compulsory modules clashing, and awfully-timed lectures. Hopefully they'll have not cocked it up this year, and we can get decent timetables, instead of 5 9AM starts...bastards....grr.....

Yep, the yellow clashes are tutorials which have multiple slots so you just work out which slot you can fit in and sign yourself up for it. Each module will have one or two lectures a week (ahh....arts!) and if these clash (red) then you can't do both and have to choose between the modules.
For Combined there's only the one compulsory module (12pm Fri?) and I think there's a core sociology module that might clash with that slot but generally you should be able to fit the modules you're after into your timetable.

You can't actually view next year's timetable because it doesn't exist yet. The only thing you can do is use checker :smile:

I think that it's because you have to be on a computer connected to the Durham network to use the other thingymabob. I may be wrong, but it's a guess! :smile:

I don't even know if one of my language centre modules is running yet!

I'm not fussed at the moment though, because what can i do about it now?

So, for all those worried- it's provisional now, and it will sort itself out(even if it's confusing and hell on earth for the first couple of days!)
