Hey all, this post was written to address two issues,

1) It has been brought to our attention that the course readings were temporarily out of stock at the HKUSU Photocopying Centre in Chong Yuet Ming Amenities Centre. I do apologise for any distress and difficulties this may have caused, but please be assured that this problem has been resolved and that the course pack will be available again today (Thursday, 5th February). You will notice that the new pack will have some notes scribbled on the first few readings—forgive me for this as I was unable to find a correction pen to wipe them out in my rush to resolve this problem. Again, please accept my apologies for this oversight.

2) Those who have sat to ponder the tasks of the tutorial may also have noticed that the requirements for Week 2 and Week 3 sound extremely similar. The difference is simply that in Week 2, you will be working primarily within your groups so that you will have more time to  get to know the members in your team as well as to coordinate and allocate responsibilities for the rest of the semester. In some ways, you could conceive of Week 2 as still part of the orientation period; but as we move on to Week 3, things will begin to get a little more “serious” as discussions occur between groups and each group take turns to discuss their preliminary observations on their topic of interest. In essence, Week 3 will set the tone for the rest of the tutorials this semester.

Hopefully, that helps to clear up the main differences between the two weeks as well as set aside questions pertaining to the course reading pack. Right then, cheerio friends!
