It is that time of the year when deadlines are fast approaching but we’re all braving through this knowing that we do not actually have to come back for any teaching, just exams we might have during May/June. But this also when we get the email asking us to choose our options for the following […]

Posted by Faheema in Sociology on March 13, 2018
So, the past few weeks has not been without disruption for myself. Compared to some of peers studying other subject, us sociology students had the many ‘cancelled’ lecture, seminars and open office hours. For instance, out of my nine contact hours in the week six of those hours were ‘cancelled’. But, I guess this will […]

4 weeks…

“4 weeks till Christmas Faheema” is what I keep telling myself as soon as I wake up. I was under the illusion that second year would not be that different to first year but the first half of semester one was an eye opener to say the least. Not saying that first year is a […]

Summer is over…
Posted by Faheema in Sociology on September 21, 2017
From a student’s perspective, a very huge plus point is the amount of holidays we get. Summer is most definitely the highlight of the calendar. Done with exams by May and lectures not stating till late September/early October, it’s a four month holiday well deserved (in my opinion anyway). During summer you’ll see students travelling, […]
