your own timetable
– Expect timetable clashes, especially on EBM
• No guarantees that all WBS/Economics modules will be available, refer to
their briefing on 7th May 2008
– Very large 2nd year in WBS/Economics in 2008/9
• On WBS/Economics modules you will be judged against 1st, 2nd and 3rd
year WBS and Economics students
– Ask WBS personal tutor or WBS/Economics lecturers for guidance
– Review the WBS marks/feedback for ES2A6 as a possible guide
– Expect to have to improve your academic writing style
• Try to build a network of engineering, science and business studies
students to help you with minor timetable clashes & advice on writing
style
• Plan your 2 academic referees for job/MSc applications
– EBS students can use 2 personal tutors in WBS & Engineering
– EBM students can use personal tutor plus another academic
