This Wednesday, the final occasion that we will all gather together in class (note the you see the tear-stained text on this post) we'll be rounding off the Learning Skills course (morning) before looking to what will happen in the coming weeks (afternoon).
It's worth drawing attention to a number of sessions:
Student Panel: this will be a light-hearted session led by members of the Personal Tutor team where you'll have the opportunity to put questions about student life to our panel of experts. In case you don't feel like asking questions from the floor you'll be able to anonymously post your query in our question box which will be in the lecture theatre from the start of the day (although if you're planning to submit a smart or ironic question, please try and be humorous with it - asking whether a particular Personal Tutor is courting at the current time is about as original as it is funny). This is always a good session in helping you get an idea of the practical realities of starting university so don't miss it.
Sessions for students planning to study at Heriot-Watt, Napier or Stirling Universities: Another vital session if you're aiming for any of these seats of learning. Will include what to expect on your first days, student support and so on. These sessions will be delivered from some of our friends from these universities. Please note that the Stirling session will be at the end of the day, the Napier and Heriot-Watt sessions just after lunch.
Student photo: As Alison mentioned last week, it's a Summer School tradition that we take a photograph to capture our whole group before you embark on your different academic journeys. You'll be able to purchase a copy of the photograph after the end of Summer School as a lasting memento of all the cool people you've met these past weeks. You could even whack the image on a commemorative plate or at the bottom of an ashtray as you please. All good stuff.
So then, until Wednesday.
