Week 1 Session: Tutorial 1: bring nothing, bullshit anyway

Week 1's tutorial — a low-stakes run at the live demonstration from lecture, before anything you say here is worth a mark

22 February 2027

The lecture demonstrated it; this session is where you try it yourself, badly, in front of people who will forget by next week. Nothing here is graded — the first fortnightly checkpoint is next week, and this is the rehearsal.

In the session#

• pairs take turns bullshitting a topic pulled at random, ninety seconds each
• the room calls out the exact sentence where the bullshit started working
• a short debrief on what “confident” actually sounded like versus what felt confident from the inside

Afterwards#

Nothing is due. What you leave with is a rough sense of your own tell — useful going into a semester where you’ll be asked to hide it.
