Lectures and Labs

This term, the course has 2 sections:

  • Section A: Meets once a week on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-10:00pm in CLH #K.
  • Section E: Meets three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:30-11:30am in CB #121.

There are five lab sections:

  • Lab #01 Mondays 2:30-4:00pm
  • Lab #02 Thursdays 7:00-8:30pm
  • Lab #03 Thursdays 2:30-4:00pm
  • Lab #04 Wednesdays 2:30-4:00pm
  • Lab #05 Wednesdays 5:00-6:30pm

All lab sessions take place in CSEB #1006. (Please note that this is a change from the past. Labs used to meet in #1004. However, #1006 is now the teaching lab, where we meet, and #1004 the drop-in lab, where any CS&E student can work.)

Students must attend the lab sessions in which they are formally enrolled. (Space is limited, so we cannot accommodate people freely switching about. It also becomes hard to ensure students receive their marks if they are attending the wrong lab.)

Final Exam

* Starting with eCheck 04A in week #5, the final deadline for checking in the eCheck will be 11:59pm Tuesday of the following week. So the final deadline for 04A is 11:59pm 27 October, 05A is 11:50pm 3 November, and so forth.

The final deadline for the last eCheck, 011A, is an exception, since it is in the last week of classes. It is due by 11:59 Tuesday 8 December, as is the previous week's eCheck, 09A.
