EMTH118: ENSOC & BCD Group Present Fresher Engineering Study Sessions
2020-04-27 10:00 - 11:00 | Online
Since everything has changed at uni recently, ENSOC has teamed up with the engineers from BCD group to help you freshers.
We know how beneficial it is for students to get together and study. So, every week, ENSOC will be running a zoom session, where students can drop in, and ask other students about their courses.
This is a good way to find assignment help, study tips and many other things. Even if you gain nothing from it academically, think of it as a good way to chat some rubbish to other students.
Please let the team at ENSOC know if these times clash with a lecture/tutorial, and we will try our best to accommodate.
The instructions on how to download and use zoom can be found here:
https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/its/knowledge-base/video-conferencing/
The zoom meetings are here: https://canterbury.zoom.us/j/99988311536
This will be an open meeting at all times, but if students who are in it stick to the schedule, things should run smoothly.
We at ENSOC have no tolerance for bullying on our online platforms. Please report any instances harassment/bullying/intimidation etc. to ENSOC. This can be done through our Facebook page, or an email to faculty@ensoc.com. These complaints will be passed on to the college.
Thank you from ENSOC and the team at BCD group
