Public Holidays in Week 9 and 10

Posted by Larry Tang 🦀 about a month ago.

Hi everyone, hope your studies are going well.

The regular Friday labs will not be held in Week 9 and 10 as a result of public holidays - you may have already seen this reflected on your timetable. For those who need to get a lab marked off, please use the Timetable page on the WebCMS sidebar to find a class you are able to attend and contact the tutor via email to ask if you may attend for the next two weeks.

The top name in any class is the tutor: click their name and you will be able to see an email which you can then contact.

You may need to email multiple tutors as some classes are already at capacity.

Week 10's lab is intended to let you get to grips with the exam environment, so we plan on holding additional labs in Week 11 for those who cannot reschedule. More information on this will come out next week.

Help Sessions

Posted by Larry Tang 🦀 2 months ago.

Hey everyone,

Help sessions have been timetabled and are starting next week! You can find the timetable on the sidebar of WebCMS3.

These will be in-person sessions that allow you to request help from a tutor on anything course-related, such as home computing, coursework feedback or help with an assignment. Everyone is free to attend whenever they wish, and I would highly encourage attending earlier sessions rather than later as they can get very busy close to assignment deadlines.

The Live Coding Session continues today!

Posted by Larry Tang 🦀 2 months ago.

Hey everyone,

The live coding session will be returning at 1-2pm today!

Last week you learned a fundamental programming concept, that being control structures. This week we will be working through some problems where you can put this into practice.

Please see Callum’s post on the Ed forum for the files for this week’s session.

These sessions will continue running for the entire term except for flexibility week.
