You can find the particulars of your tutorial on your Personal Status page in CMS. The tutorials will start next Monday, 6 November. Please team up for the assignments submission with two fellow students having the same tutor, using the Team Groupings function on CMS. (Some details can be found here.) There is also a CMS sub-forum for finding partners for your team. Students that do not belong to any tutorial cannot submit assignment solutions either and hence cannot be admitted to the exam. Please also recall that tomorrow, 1 November, is a public holiday (All Saints' Day) and most of the University will be closed. In particular, there will be no lecture and no office hours. Last not least, I wish all of you a very successful winter term! |
