A typical student cohort represents one year of a degree program. Let us
suppose the following:
- All students in the first year (say 30 students) attend every lecture
- The students are split into 3 tutorial groups each of which
attend one tutorial.
- Assuming this is the only degree program in our institution we might
call the year group BSc1 and the tutorial groups BSc1a, BSc1b and BSc1c.
|
BSc1 contains BSc1a, BSc1b and BSc1c |
 |
Consider a module which consists of one lecture and one tutorial (each).
BSc1 attends the lecture L at 09:00
-
BSc1a attends tutorial Ta at 10:00
-
BSc1b attends the tutorial Tb at 11:00
-
BSc1c attends the tutorial Tc at 12:00

Key
| Group is attending an event at this time. |
| Group is free at this time. |
| Group is not available because something
it intersects with is at an event. |
We refer to the last case as "vacariously attendance". Thus BSc1a does not
attend the lecture as itself - it attends the event vacariously.
