Tutorial Exercises

First pageI have uploaded the first set of tutorial exercises. Click on the thumbnail to the right, or go to the tutorial web page to download them. Please read the information box on the opening page before you start work on these.

I have a large number of requests from students to change tutorial groups. That’s fine, but it’s taking a while to plan a set of revisions that will avoid everyone’s clashes and still keep the group sizes reasonable. Please be patient: you should all be in appropriate groups as requested before next week.

How to Change Your Tutorial Group

If you have a timetable clash and need to change your Inf1-DA tutorial group, or don’t even have a group at all yet, then please contact me directly.

Do not contact Gregor — he will only redirect you to me. I’m batching up changes to keep the groups balanced, and he won’t make one-off changes without my approval.

You are welcome to speak to me after lectures. That can be quite busy, though, so you may find it easier to do by email:

  • Send an email to me, Ian.Stark@ed.ac.uk
  • Send it from your university email address (remember, that’s @sms.ed.ac.uk not @ed.ac.uk)
  • If you have already been assigned a group, then say why you are unable to attend it (clash with Philosophy Lecture; need to collect child from nursery; etc.)
  • Give a list of all the times you cannot attend an Inf1-DA tutorial, out of Monday 9, 10, 11, 13, 15; Tuesday 9, 10, 13, 15, 16; and Wednesday 9, 11.

I shall then work out suitable changes to ensure all students can attend their tutorials.

Alternatively:

  • Send me your name and the name of someone else willing to exchange tutorial groups with you.

This one I should always be able to do.
