So, lectures. What are they? What are they like? Well, when it comes to lectures your parents might come to mind, but at EHU we have lectures of a different kind. Lectures usually last between 1hr40 to 2 hours, with a ten minutes interval in the middle. A lecturer is condensing hundreds of years of knowledge into 2 hours which often makes every single sentence vital. I find that printing the lecture slides before the lecture is helpful, as you can annotate notes around them. Highlighters will be your new best friend and organising your printed off slides into separate module folders will save time and panic when it comes to exams.
During your first year you will often be in lecture theatres, like the ones you see in films, with around 200 students. By the time you get to your second and third year you will be in small lecture room with about 30 per module. Although in all of the module handbooks it states that no food of drink is allowed, most lecturers will allow you to bring you some small snacks.
Although some lectures may be harder to get through than others, just remember this is the topic that you chose and when you receive your degree you will be thankful for every minute of it. Happy lecturing!
Until next time…
