Time passes

This blog is about marketing - not physics - but many students experience a time-is-relative phenomenon, especially when they are new to university life. Simultaneously, they feel like they have only just arrived and yet some arithmetic work with a calendar will tell them they are about a 1/4 of the way through the year with respect to teaching. Those of them that reflect on that may consider whether or not they have achieved all they should have done by this point - reading, writing, and researching - and when they realise that they have not it should give them pause for thought.
