Tutorials

Tutorials are your chance to ask questions. Staff are available and are interested in solving your problems and the classes are much smaller than lectures. 

Each week we set exercises that are aimed at helping you to understand aspects of the work that we think are particularly important or particularly difficult. It is important that you try to do all these exercises BEFORE your tutorial so that you know what to ask about in the tutorial. Remember that the aim of the tutorials is not to collect answers (there are lots of correct algorithms in the text which you can collect) but for YOU to get practice in writing algorithms. 

There are too many questions to complete in one tutorial and tutorial solutions will NOT be available so it is important that you try to do the exercises for yourself BEFORE the tutorials so any difficulties can be discussed. 

Check the unit timetable for tutorial times. Tutorials begin in week 2. 

Submitting Tutorials

To get credit for your tutorial work, you must hand your work in the mode described in the tutorial page. (Note that this is now online via the Blackboard system.) Your tutor will not accept work at any other time, nor from anyone else on your behalf.
