URGENT!!! 29 November session

Robin Hodge — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 10:29:09 +0000

Apologies – I have to cancel this Monday’s session because of an important meeting. However – I have put up forms outside the office (MQ205) on which I wish you to sign up for a tutorial.

Bring work with you to tutorial. Each one will last approx 20 minutes.

This Monday’s session…15 November

Robin Hodge — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:41:30 +0000

Friends, students, colleagues…
unfortunately my elder brother passed away on Wednesday morning. His funeral will take place on Monday the 15th in Carrickfergus. Therefore I am postponing the session but will re arrange tutorial sessions for later in the week depending on timetable.

These will be one on one and last approx 15 minutes each.

I hope that you all will bear with me at this time of loss.

Seminar Groups

11 October 2010

A seminar is a chance for you to show your present thinking on a set project – in this case the project that you have chosen to carry out over the next few weeks. Do not turn up at a seminar with nothing, nor come to a seminar that you have not been pencilled in for. If you are late you may not get a chance to show work at all depending on the time available. I would also add that ALL students are invited to attend all seminars so if you wish to attend all morning please feel free to do so.
