Those reading EEM receive tuition from Dr A Banerjee or Dr A W Beggs on economics and from Dr F Murray for management. Tutorials in computing topics for ECS are given by Professor W F McColl. To cover the topics which fall outside the range of expertise of the Wadham tutors, we have long-standing exchange teaching arrangements with Mansfield College. Engineering tutorials are usually timetabled jointly for students from the two colleges. Tutorials in College take place twice weekly, with a nominal eight hours allocated for each examination subject.
Students usually attend in pairs.
The problem sheets are issued in conjunction with the associated lecture and laboratory courses, and, as far as possible, tutorials are scheduled in the same terms as the related work in the Department. Your tutor will not be an expert in every topic, but an hour of personal attention allows you to discuss the difficulties that matter to you. It also allows your tutor to appreciate the individuality of your approach to each problem, and to encourage your self-confidence. We like to work and think with you, starting from the point where you are on familiar ground. This, of course, requires an active commitment on your part to prepare well for tutorials and to explain your own thoughts clearly.
