FRESHERS WEEK - ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/14 BA Finance and BA Finance and Economics

Dear student, I am delighted to welcome you to the University of Hertfordshire Business School BA Finance and BA Finance and Economics pathway. I am your Pathway Tutor and am here to help and advise you during your studies with us. As well as introducing myself I am also writing to let you know about starting your studies with UHBS. Your studies will begin on Monday 23rd September 2013 at 11:00am in the Weston Auditorium at the de Havilland campus for your welcome talk. Please make sure you read your timetable for the first week’s activities, details of the pathway of study you will be undertaking as well as a list of useful contacts. These are available on this website. During this week you will have the chance to meet me and the pathway team and receive further information about your pathway of study. You will also receive information about completing your registration at the University and your timetable. This will also be a chance to meet other students on the pathway and familiarise yourself with the campus and the facilities here at UH. The first week of your studies has been designed to help maximise your learning while at the Business School. The sessions and activities within this week provide an important foundation which will help you achieve your maximum potential with us, and will help to ensure that you make a successful start to your studies. We want you to have fun too, so please get involved at every available opportunity! Please  see  the  attached  document  about  'Team  Match'  you  will  need  to  complete  this  task  before  you  join  the  University  in  September.   If you have any questions that you need to ask me before you start, I will be available by email from 10th September. Please also take the time to visit the ‘SSG’ website where you will find a lot of information that you may find useful about the Business School. http://www.herts.ac.uk/apply/schools-­‐of-­‐study/business/about-­‐the-­‐school/student-­‐support-­‐at-­‐the-­‐business-­‐school  

I very much look forward to meeting you on the 23rd September. Dr Marion H. Storm Programme Tutor BA Finance BA Finance and Economics m.h.storm@herts.ac.uk    

Team-­‐Match      

     

Team-­‐Match  

Team-­‐Match  is  an  innovative  web  application  that  connects  students  for  collaborative  learning  and  group  work.  Team-­‐Match  asks  each  participant  to  complete  a  short  profile.  We  then  use  matchmaking  technology  to  connect  you  with  others  based  on  your  preferences.    

How  it  works:  

1) Go  to  www.team-­‐match.com/herts  and  create  a  Team-­‐Match  Account.  2) Always  access  and  login  to  Team-­‐Match  through  www.team-­‐

match.com/herts  3) Use  your  real  name  in  the  sign  up  process  4) On  the  dashboard  click  on  “Start  Indicator”.  5) Before  you  start  the  questionnaire,  please  make  sure  you  have  15  -­‐25  min  

of  uninterrupted  time.  Be  honest  in  your  answers,  you  are  the  only  person  who  will  see  your  results!  

6) Once  you  have  completed  the  questionnaire  you  can  explore  your  Personality  Profile  

7) IMPORTANT:  The  final  step  of  the  process  is  to  join  your  programme  group  on  Team-­‐Match.  To  do  this,  please  select  the  correct  Group  ID  from  the  list  below  and  enter  it  in  the  participate  box  (GroupID)  on  the  Team-­‐Match  dashboard  (home)  and  click  on  Go.    

8) That’s  it,  you’ve  joined  your  programme  group.  DON’T  click  on  the  revoke  button.  Now  all  you  need  to  do  is  to  wait  until  we  match  you  into  a  group.
