My name is Marcia May-hew and Im the co-ordinator of the Bachelor of Social Science degree. This morning Id like to tell you about the structure of the universit
25、y and about some of the requirements of the degree that youre about to enter. The Bachelor of Social Science is in one faculty within the university: that is the faculty where I work, known as Arts and Social Sciences. Here on this campus we also have the faculties of Architecture, Law and Science a
26、nd Technology among others. Its important to know something about the structure of the faculty because, as you go through your course, you may need to call on members of the staff to help you. At the top of the faculty we have a dean and below the dean we have three division-s; each division has a d
27、ivisional head and your degree is located in the Division of Social Sciences. Within each of the divisions, there are the departments and each of these offers the different degrees. For instance, two of the departments which offer the major subjects for your award are Sociology and Psychology. Each
28、has a departmental head but for practical purposes, the people you are going to see the most of are myself as coordinator of the social sciences degree and the actual lecturers who are teaching the subjects that you are taking. For instance in the first semester youll be doing four subjects: psychol
29、ogy, sociology, history and economics. If you have any problems or difficulties, not that Im anticipating you will, but you never know, then you should go and see your lecturers. For instance, you may find that you cant meet a deadline for an essay or perhaps youre having problems with attendance. T
30、hese seem to be the two most common problems that students face. If your lecturers are unavailable, you can always come and see me in my office. Im available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and on Friday afternoons. Outside these hours, perhaps you could ring the secretary and make an appointment
31、. Now, youll note that all of the subjects which you undertake in the first year are composed of lectures and tutorials. A lecture is about an hour long and a tutorial usually runs for about two hours. A lecture is rather like what I am doing now, where one person will talk to all of you together on
32、 a subject. We do ask you to try to attend the lectures. A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at a university. You will be divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students and each week one of you will have to present a piece of work to the group as a whole and then the group wil
33、l discuss what youve said. Its this discussion, this exchange of ideas, which really constitutes the basis of university learning, in my view. Listening to lectures in many ways is just giving you information that you could access for yourself in the library, but the discussion at the tutorial is ve
34、ry important. This doesnt mean that you shouldnt go to the lectures though! Other factors to be particularly concerned about are the structure of essays and delivery of written material and in particular I would like to mention the question of plagiarism. Plagiarism is taking other peoples work with
35、out acknowledging it, that is , without saying where it comes from. Of course all essays are based on research done by other people but you must remember to attribute the work to the original writer. And while its a good idea to work with other people, dont hand in work which is exactly the same as
36、your friends work because we will notice! If you dont acknowledge the source of your information, then you run the risk of failing the subject or in very serious cases you might be denied entry to the university. Last but not least, stay in touch with us. If things are getting you down, dont go and hide. Come and talk to us about it. Thats what we are here for.
