Hmm, I just get the impression that Casford's going to expect a lot from us :afraid:

Whoops i drew the spin of the eart hthe wrong way.
No i did it right the first time.

Now the air moves left in the southern hemisphere, no its right. Wait.....

I understood it better before his lecutre :rolleyes: , thought those Eckman spirals were useful.
Hey, I was next door in Studio. Just walked back home alone, cos my friends abandoned me, cos they suck and I am really hardcore.

It was quite lonely by the end, and I looked out for Tim, Adam and stuff thinking theyd come in after Walkabout, but noop:frown:

Jim Innes was my Physical tutor last year - he's awesome!!! :biggrin: (And bears a striking resemblance to Harold Bishop from Neighbours!!)

No really, he's cool, he goes something like this in tutorials:

"Ok, so you've got this essay title, well, this is what you have to do (blah blah blah) and really, it's not too bad, because you just pop some facts in and get your 40% because it doesn't really matter does it? Lovely. Any questions?"

:biggrin:

Word on the street is that we will get a physical geog summative essay set in our first tutorial and it will be in for before the end of term - anyone who is in 2/3rd year geog know whether this is likely?

Could be likely - guidelines state that a tutor must give a minimum of 2 weeks notice for an essay, and since we have a good 3 and a half weeks (or something like that) left then they could give you it.

But you have to remember that tutors don't work together, they do their individual thing - THEY decide your essay titles, THEY decide on deadlines and all that kind of thing. Last year I didn't get any summative essays until 2nd term but a friend of mine had a human AND a physical summative due before Christmas :eek:

But remember that you will have:
1 formative human & 2 summative humans
1 formative physical & 2 summative physicals

So if you haven't had a formative essay for either yet, then you won't get a summative until you've had that :smile:
