Tutorial Assignment
You have been assigned to a tutorial based on your preferences. It's not guaranteed to be your most preferred slot, but CMS performs a global optimization to try to yield a satisfactory assignment for everyone. If you didn't select a preference for tutorials, you have been randomly assigned.
If you want to switch to another tutorial, it can happen but in a self-organized manner and with mutual agreement between the two students. I have opened a discussion topic in the forum. You can post in that thread to find someone who would be willing to switch. Once confirmed, one of you please email me with both of your matriculation numbers and the tutorials you want to switch to, and I will perform the switch for you.
The deadline for switching tutorials is October 31st, 11:59pm.
Forming Teams
You are responsible for forming teams of 3 by yourself. Once you find your teammates, you can create a team grouping yourself on CMS. The deadline for forming a team is October 31st, 11:59pm. There is a thread in the forum to help you find team members. There might be one or two groups of two in one tutorial, depending on the number of students in a tutorial. However, please still try to form groups of three - if there ends up being too many groups of two, they will be randomly merged to become groups of three. Students who are unable to form a team by the deadline will have to be removed from the course.
Waitlisted Students
We have a randomized waiting list and cannot make an exception for anyone on this waitlist to be fair. Once there is a spot available, we will send a token to register on CMS to the next student on the waitlist. This process will happen sequentially throughout the next few weeks. Once you receive the token, you have 3 days to register otherwise the token will be assigned to the next available student. Please select your tutorial preference right when you register. Your tutorial slot will be assigned based on your preference and the current availability.
Transferred Students
Students who transferred their assignments and the project from last year were assigned to a dummy tutorial for logistical reasons. You don't need to form teams, do assignments, or the project again. Your bonus points will be transferred and scaled with regard to this semester before the exam.
