Going to lectures

[raven]

I may, possibly, have misjudged American Girl. When you get her talking, she's actually quite nice. And I wanted to know if she had any more questions, or if I could help her with anything else, and she said yes, she had a question. Go ahead, I said.

"Tell me," she said, "do you people ever go to lectures?"

"Um," I said. "That depends."

The thing is, I know what it depends on for me - I would go to my compulsory ones if I had any, I go to the good ones (c.f. Morison and Pooley), and the later the lecture is in the day, generally the more likely I am to go to it. But I am curious, and procrastinating, and therefore spamming.

..not that i'm avoiding studying or anything :P

what would you classify a medical(ish)professional training as? I said science, but I'll (hopefully) get a BMed at the end of it (but not to call myself doctor).

placements I'd fail if I didn't go to the required hours of, but computer tutorials that are just working through a handout? zzz! with lectures it depends on many things (the lecturer, the subject, how much sleep I've had)

I have two 9ams, which is pretty good (4 in first year and 3 last year)I make it to less of those . . .and my attendence at Research Methods is fairly low but who can blame me?

Science, definitely. I'm using the very broadest categories here. (And I was almost a medic, myself; I used to call myself a scientist back in more innocent days!)

Hey, I don't blame you at all. You can see above that for me to do so would involve hypocrisy of the highest order.
