contact the Consultant Programmer at the DCS Technical Support Group. Note
that the CS Undergraduate Student System Documentation may contain the answer to your
problem.

requests for tutorial changes and assignment extensions,
or problems with the submission of assignments,
contact a Course Coordinator either in person or email

shared by Clem Baker-Finch and Ben Lippmeier.

Help with course material and assignments
There are a number of ways that you can seek help. Remember, if you
are having a particular problem, the chances are that some of your
classmates may also encounter it.
- Your peers: classmates can be a valuable
source of help, especially if you take the effort to network with
them (which may also prove valuable in the future). Having said
that, when it comes to assignments, the amount of help you should
ask for (or give) is limited: see the DCS Student Handbook
for more details.
- Forums: On the
COMP1100 Announcements bulletin board, we will occasionally put
up FAQs and address any significant problems encountered.
On the COMP1100
Discussion board, your question may have already been addressed
(and solved) by some of your classmates. The lecturer and tutors
may also monitor the discussion and contribute from time to time.
- Drop-in Labs:
A number of one or two hour sessions in the DCS labs will be run
weekly, depending on demand. The schedule will be announced and
updated in lectures and on the COMP1100 web site. They are
for the purpose of reviewing concepts, completing laboratory
exercises and help with assignments. Expect them to commence in
Week 3.
- Your Tutor: if it can wait till your next
practical class, you can bring the problem up with your tutor.
- The Course Lecturer (Clem Baker-Finch) and
Course Tutor (Ben Lippmeier) will also be available
for help either in person, or by email, phone or the course forum.
