Module description

Information about the aims and learning outcomes of the module, reading material, assessment, and the syllabus.

Locations and times

In week 1 (7 - 11 October) lectures will start at 9:30 every day.

Venue for lectures: LF12.

Venue for lab exercises in week 1: MSc lab.

NOTE:

• At certain times during week 2 the MSc lab is booked for other modules; see the timetable put up in the lab.
• As alternative venue I recommend the 3rd year lab, Room 2.25A, which can be reached through 2.11, opposite the PG Office.

Principally you can do your assignments on any machine in any student lab in the Department, provided this does not cause interference with officially scheduled classes. (You can of course do the assignments outside the Department, as long as you ensure your program compiles and works under Linux).

Demonstrator timetable for week 2 - Information of when and where demonstrators will be available for consultation.

Handouts

• Course notes - List of typos
• Lab notes, including instructions of how to use the debugger, timetable, unassessed exercises to be completed in week 1
• Assignments, to be distributed on Friday of week 1
