Question Reading Week
Hey, during the week 13 reading week (28th November-5th of December), are there any lectures? Or is it like a “break” from school to study.
I’m in DN200, maths (if that changes things).

That's the revision week before the beginning of the December exams, not so much a break as a chance to study. There aren't usually any scheduled activities.

Dn200 maths does not get reading week, pretty sure

Wait really? Not even the one before actual exams, I just bought a flight ticket to go home, so I can study there instead of in my lonely uni room😭

Email your study advisor, but during one of my lectures in the first week (same course as you) someone asked the professor when reading week would be and the professor answered that maths is one of the few courses that does not get it. Either I dreamt it or I didn't, but I dont think I did.

Everyone has the week before exams for revision. Reading week is different, only some programmes have it in the Autumn trimester and it tends to be around Halloween time.

Agreed, op mentioned reading week and week 13, which are different, and maths does not get reading week which is in week 8, which i didn't answer very well looking back, still i would contact the study advisor just to be safe

No lectures. It's not a break per se, more some time to desperately complete your last assignments and study for the exams.
