Help and support is provided on many levels:

  • Attend all the lectures (come with a clear head and an empty note-pad).
  • Do all the labs - our tutors are experienced and will always listen and point you towards a productive direction.
  • Join the Peer-Assisted-Learning (PAL) sessions - probably the easiest way to learn in groups.
  • Talk to your classmates. Form a learning group with your friends.
  • Drop by at the drop-in labs.
  • Use the forums - chances are you are not the only one with this question.
  • Contact us - any of us (e-mail addresses below). We won't be sitting on the phone 24/7, but most of us are electronically reachable most of the time. All e-mails will be answered - mostly surprisingly fast, but please keep in mind that this is a n-to-1 communication form and n is large.
  • Most importantly: if you feel that you are or might be getting into trouble then see us straight away. If you hit a wall, neither staring at it, nor ignoring it will make it go away -> you will need to become active and talk to somebody. Almost anything can be put back on track, if you give us a chance to suggest a solution in time.
