What's It All About?

Thirty one-hour lectures will be given during the semester.
There are thirty-nine (3 x 13) lecture slots set aside in the timetable. The Lecture Schedule shows which lecture slots will be used. Check it regularly.

You should attend all scheduled lectures.

If you cannot attend lectures regularly, you are advised to withdraw from COMP2400/6240.
If you ignore this advice, you stay enroled at your own risk.

Missed Lectures

If you do miss a lecture, you should:

• Check the Lecture Outline for the relevant lecture

• Check the Handouts web page to see if you have missed any handouts

• Check the Messages to see if you have missed any important announcements

• Ask your friends and relations for information on the material covered in the lecture

"I don't go to lectures" is not sufficient reason for you to be given individual tutoring.

Lecture Etiquette

Turn off your mobile phone(s) in the lecture theatre.

If you must have your phone on because you are waiting for a life and death call, have your phone handy so that you can answer it immediately.

Don't come to lectures to chat.
It is one thing to whisper a simple message "See you in the coffee shop after this" or to make a short comment on the lecture material.
It is another thing to disturb those students who do wish to pay attention.

No hints will be given about the assignment/exam if students spend the lecture chatting.

Lecture Outlines

Lecture outlines are not lecture notes.

Lecture outlines do not record everything (of importance) that was said in lectures.

Lecture outlines are made available to assist students who are attending lectures.
Lecture outlines are not provided as an alternative to lecture attendance.

Lecture outlines are available via the Lecture Schedule.
