Prioritising
and
Tuning out
I don’t have time to do anything else :(
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the weekly
changes in your timetable and the fact that if you
miss 20% of your classes, you automatically fail the
course. It is also rather stressful to think about the
fact that being more than 10 minutes late for a
class means you’re absent (the BSB seriously has
this rule) and the fact that lecturers have every
right to mark you as absent if they deem you
unprepared for class. It also does not help to dwell
on the fact that if your attendance falls to 90%,
your schools have every right to demand the work
due from the 10% of the classes you missed or else,
fail you.
How on earth are you going to prepare for every
class, what more fulfil the attendance
requirement?! Won’t this affect one’s social life and
other outside school activities i.e. mooting?
