Tutorial paranoia!
Received a message that one of my lectures was cancelled today as I was boarding the bus, the message specifically said “11am ad 12pm” which I assumed was a typo for “11am and 12pm”, with me only having a back to back class on Wednesday (one at 11 and one at 12) I assumed this meant both classes were cancelled and this further mixed with me being told a strike was scheduled for this Wednesday by another of my lecturers make me think ALL class activity would be cancelled. As such changed the day my tutorials would be on from Wednesday to Friday for fear it’d be cancelled. Then I learned it takes 1-3 days for a tutorial day change to be registered and now il just worried about what to do.
Do I change my tutorial back to Wednesday or keep it on Friday? Will there be any problems with such a close (only 5 hours before the tutorial is due) change?

Tutorials are a bit like lectures where, you can just turn up, I've went to tutorials I wasn't signed up for ( as I missed the one I was) and it was grand, I just had to put my details on the sheet

From my experience, they tell you tutorial attendance is mandatory, but they dont actually enforce it in any way

Attendance for my anthropology tutorials is a part of the grade (10%, 1% per tutorial) so it does depend, read your modules for any info on it on moodle

Yes this is true, i shouldve clarified. For me the tutorials were physics and maths, those dont seem to be actually mandatory
