Welcome (AY2011/2 Semester 2) 9 ADMIN MATTERS (1/2) Email me at tantc @ comp.nus.edu.sg on personal matters. For general matters/queries on the course, please post in IVLE discussion forums to share with all. Online tutorial registration – through CORS. Lab group and tutorial group are independent. Please read forum on common mistakes. Priority will be given to those without a group, instead of those who already have a group but wish to change. Do not worry if your lab/tutorial is back to back with the lecture. I will be punctual in starting my lesson and CS2100 lectures/tutorials/labs should end 15 minutes before the hour. After you get your assigned group, please stick with it.
