Welcome Affiliates 2009-2010
Dear affiliates of academic year 2009/2010,
We would like to say welcome to all of you. I hope the first a week and a half have been fun and exciting. This is the platform for us (Brad, Irma, & Matthias) to transmit various information about the seminars and assignments that you need to complete. We will post relevant information on this blog as they come up and email you everything we post here, so make sure we have your correct email address.
First, there is going to be a sign-up sheet for seminar slots this Wednesday on the wall outside the common room on BW 3rd floor from 1.30 p.m.. If your primary department is Psychology, or if you're taking 2 psych courses, you need to put your name for one of the slots. There is a limit of 10 students for each slot, so please choose another slot if one gets filled up. Note that this is not the final seminar allocation so do email us if you have a problem with this.
The sign-up sheet will be taken down on Friday ~2.30p.m., and we will email you about the final seminar allocation on Saturday, Oct 10.
Second, remember to send an email to Matthias (m.gruber@ucl.ac.uk) about your psych courses and timetable for non-psych courses (e.g., Fri 2.4p.m.).
We look forward to seeing you next week for the first seminar meeting.
Best,
Matthias and Irma
