What's It All About?

Students are expected to attend five two-hour tut/lab sessions (called Practicals in streams) during the semester, one per fortnight starting in Week 3 and finishing in Week 11.

   Wednesday  16:00-18:00  (wed16-18)  N115   Sumudu Mendis 
   Thursday   14:00-16:00  (thu14-16)  N115   Carol Edmondson

Tut/labs will be held in CSIT Lab N115 on Level 1 of the CS&IT Building [108].

Students should register for groups using the Modify Course Activities button under Student Entry in streams.
Students who wish to change groups must use the Modify Course Activities button in streams.

Groups with low registrations may be cancelled.

Rolls will be marked at tut/lab sessions.
If you attend a tut/lab for a group in which you are not registered, you may be asked for your student id and name. Writing your name and student number on the roll will not cause your group registration to change.

If you need to talk to someone about COMP1100 tut/lab work outside scheduled tut/lab sessions, see Carol during her Student Consultation Times.
You may post questions about COMP1100 tut/lab work on the discussion group  COMP1100.talk.

Tut/Lab Etiquette

• Do some preparation before attending a tut/lab.

  If you do some preparation, you will be able to make much more effective use of the time at tut/lab session.

  You should at least read through all the tut/lab questions.
  It is a Good Idea to make notes of anything you don't understand (so you can ask questions).
  If you get *stuck* on a tut/lab question, don't spend hours on it, bring what you have done to the relevant tut/lab.

• Do not use the tut/lab as a social occasion.

• Be aware that other students may be at different points on the learning curve.

• Be aware that some students may be genuinely interested in topics which bore you witless.
