Lectures, Workshops and Laboratories
Lectures
There will be an hour lecture and a 2 hour computer workshop/tutorial every week, for the duration of the 13 weeks of semester 2, 2006. Attendance in the lectures is not compulsory, but is highly recommended.
We have integrated computer interaction into the lectures to assist students to become familiar with unit material. The overheads/presentations used in the lectures will be put up on the unit web-site after the relevant lectures. These overheads only contain points used in the lecture presentation. They are not substitutes for lecture attendance and the prescribed reading.
The online lecture overheads are password protected. The username and password required to access the overheads will be made available in the first lecture.
Workshops and Laboratory Sessions
The Workshop/Laboratory sessions will be run from week 2 to week 13 of the semester. The lab exercises will involve exercises relating to material given in the lectures. More specific information about using the relevant software will be supplied. The lab exercises are critical to your understanding this unit. You will not be able to complete most of the assignments without doing the exercises.
By signing for a lab session, you will be allocated the tutor responsible for the session. Your tutor will responsible for:
- assisting you in the lab exercises every week
- marking all your assignments
- answering any queries related to the unit material
Lab exercises will be put online as the semester progresses
The online lab exercise sheets are password protected. The username and password required to access the exercises will be made available in the first lecture.
