So courses such as HIS103Y1: Statecraft and Strategy: An Introduction to the History of International Relations[48L\/20T] and POL101Y1:\u00a0Democracy, Dictatorship, War, and Peace: An Introduction[48L\/24T]indicate they have tutorials, yet neither the timetables or acorn\/rosi have them listed. How am I supposed to choose my tutorial times?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
at uoft, no rule comes without an exception – except for the ones where you really hope that an exception can be made. then there are no exceptions<\/a>. it’s really great for everyone’s blood pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n in this case, there IS an exception. typically, you sign up for lectures, tutorials and labs on ACORN <\/a>(or ROSI, if you’re stuck in YE OLDEN TIMES).<\/p>\n however, despite the fact that both POL101Y1<\/a> and HIS103Y1<\/a> indicate that there is a tutorial component to the course, you won’t find the tutorials on ACORN. the history and political science departments require that you sign up for tutorials after classes start<\/em>, typically via Portal\/Blackboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n which, yes, means that you will have to fit two hours of tutorial (one for each class) around an already-made schedule once school starts. and, yes, it may be hard to find times that fit.<\/p>\n i will say, though, that there are typically so many tutorial sections in those massive first-year courses that you can usually find SOMETHING that works. it may be on a friday morning, a monday evening, or some other equally inconvenient time, but sometimes life is rough, and you’ve just gotta bear these things w<\/a>ith a brave face<\/a>.<\/p>\n
