NOTE:

• At certain times during post-coursework week the MSc lab (LF9) is booked for other modules; see the timetable put up in the lab.
• Therefore the main venue for CS510 coursework is LF16 (adjacent to MSC lab) or the PEVE lab (adjacent to LF12).
• You may also use 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 programs compile and run on the Department's Linux machines. The benefit of doing the assignments in the Department is that demonstrators are available to help.
