Students crush for education tutorial timetables 

Published on 19 February, 2003 

In scenes only duplicated at annual retail stocktake sales, about 200 Central Queensland University Education & Creative Arts students converged on the faculty recently. Although CQU Mackay faculty Sub-Dean Assoc Professor Bruce Knight wasn’t offering discounts on HECS fees he did release tutorial timetables to anxious second, third and fourth year students.

PhotoID:607 “This is the first time Bachelor of Learning Management students have been given the chance to select their own timetable and as a result the enthusiasm has been quite intense,” he said.

“We had students lining up from 7:30am to make sure they were among the first to select times for attendance at this semester’s tutorial sessions.” He said feedback from student consultations prompted the change to allow students to fit studies around work and family commitments.

First year students have been allocated tutorial groups, details of which are available at http://brampton. cqu.edu.au/~zahmelc/FirstYrTuteGroups03.htm.
