Your Timetable

You will be able to access your timetable from My Timetable which, once you have registered your IT account, you can access via MyExeter. This will tell you all your scheduled learning activities for your programme, including where you need to be when. As explained here we do expect you to attend all scheduled learning activities. 

If you are starting one of our undergraduate degrees, most of the scheduled teaching in the first year will be in larger groups with students from other degree programmes. You will have some lectures, and practical sessions usually either in the teaching lab or in the field. After your first year you have more flexibility in the modules you take, and your teaching will usually be in smaller groups and may include more discussions and seminar-style teaching. For post-graduate students your teaching will be a mix of large group sessions and discussions, seminars and practical sessions.

You will notice that your timetable is not completely full, and this is to allow time for other compulsory aspects of your course. For each of your modules there will be independent study that needs to be completed. This may include further reading, completing quizzes or written work and this will be explained by your module lead. In addition, you will be asked to meet with your tutor (sometimes these are in your timetable or your tutor will contact you) and there will be a range of activities to enhance your degree such as employability events and extra-curricular society events. All these activities are important parts of your degree and so do engage with them!

Our Exeter Learning Environment (ELE, pronounced ‘ellie’) provides all the core information for your modules, including details on the content, assessments and further reading. You can also find out more information about specific modules via the module descriptors, which will be linked to on your module page. All the Centre for Ecology and Conservation module descriptors can be found here.
