INF1-CG: Tutorials

Tutorials

Tutorials are one-hour small-group sessions led by a tutor:

  • tutorials will take place in person;
  • tutorials start in week 2 and the last session is in week 10;
  • if you have not been assigned a tutorial group, please contact Kendal Reid, the course secretary;
  • if you have been assigned a tutorial group that clashes with one of your other courses, please fill in a group change request;
  • if you are unable to attend your usual tutorial group as a one-off, feel free to attend another group that week; see the course timetable for days/times of groups;
  • tutorials cover the material from the lectures;
  • they help you practice and apply this material, allow you to discuss and ask questions;
  • the only preparation you need is to bring required materials with you: usually paper and pencil/pen, sometimes other materials as listed below.
  • All activities plus solutions/notes will be posted on Piazza at the end of each week.
