In general you should expect to do 2 hours work for every lecture and one hour more for revision. There are sometimes problem classes, which take place alongside lectures for a few courses, such as Mathematics. Labs and computing Laboratory work is an integral part of your degree course, and the range of experiments you will perform are designed to support the material you will cover in your lecture courses. The undergraduate teaching laboratory is on the 6th floor. Lab sessions are spread throughout the first and the second term.
Work is performed in groups of two or three students.
Prior to lab sessions, lecturers will explain the experiments to carried out, and you should read through the lab scripts to familiarise yourself with the experiment and prepare for the practical work. Guidelines will be given for report writing, and the experiments will be allocated during terms 1 and 2. In your second year, your laboratory work will be assessed using written reports. They may only be missed for very serious reasons, and in this case your tutor must be informed at once. Coursework Deadlines for handing in coursework are communicated to you either directly during lectures, or via email.
