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

it’s not easy, i’ll give you that. just when you think you’ve got the hang of uoft, it throws a wrench in the system. i guess you can say we’re all a bunch of TOOLS, here. huh huh<\/a><\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
