The FINAL June 2013 Examination timetable has been released
Please check this site regularly as updates are being made daily.
Readers might like to note - and reflect on - the following statistics before they are tempted to
complain about "bad timetables".
-
All examinations have had to be scheduled into only 15 days of 2 sessions each day.
-
There are just under 5 000 undergraduate students who will be writing examinations in June.
-
Altogether there will be something like 22 000 examination papers written.
-
Undergraduates have been registered for some 2850 different curricula (combinations of subjects).
-
Some 2400 of these curricula are "unique", meaning that only one student is registered for that particular curriculum.
-
Only 8 curricula are taken by more than 50 students each (for example, the
complete standard BCom 1 curriculum (178), and the complete standard BPharm 1 curriculum (163)).
In short, Rhodes University takes an extremely liberal view in allowing
a wide choice of curricula. That we can get a clash-free timetable at all is
something of a miracle. Inevitably there must be a number of students whose
examinations are closer together than they might have hoped.
