LONDON: WALKING THE CITY • Module Convenor: Elizabeth Robertson, e. robertson@qmul. ac. uk • Timetable glitch means that your timetable *may* show lecture and seminar on different days. This is a formatting error. Your lecture and seminar are ALWAYS on the same day. Seminar/1 means you are in Group 1; Seminar/2 Group 2 etc. Double check the module page on QMPlus to make sure that you have the right times and locations for your correct group. • Some weeks are a 2 hour seminar; some weeks are a lecturewalk and then a seminar. Check the module page for details. • You will need to allow 45 min-1 hour travelling time to get to and back from the Lecture-Walks. Please bear this in mind when checking fortimetable clashes.
