SGD: Acid-Base Homeostasis, Fluid & Electrolyte Balance and Potassium Metabolism

I had finished my SGD when 2 students approached me and asked who was their SGD tutor. I asked them which group and they said Group 7. That time I didn't have this info (below) with me. I could not take them as I was already tired teaching my group but I asked the 2 girls to get in touch with the students in my group.

Next time ask the Block Coordinator for the names of tutors for all the groups, or ask Pejabat Akademik before the SGD. I have informed Pejabat Akademik that students must be informed of who their tutors are and this info should be printed on the time-table. For Phase 2, if they can print PBL tutors' names + Groups + Room #s, why can't they do the same for Year 1 SGDs?

This is the info that the Block Coordinator e-mailed to the lecturers (tutors) but the students were not informed for which they did not know who was taking them for SGD. I am not in-charge but I regret that your SGD tutor failed to show up for class.
