Night Tutors

Due to COVID-19, our teaching plan has changed considerablly from previous years. Thus, it is very important for you to seek help outside of lectures. After-class help sessions are here to supplement your classwork and to clarify any confusions.

Other than my office hours, I have arranged for virtual night tutors. You will find that there are quite a few night tutoring sessions weekly. I encourage you to attend as many as possible.

Your night tutors are Filip Belik, Maddie Sandish and Thomas Hugart. Please note that the night tutoring sessions are for MCS-177, MCS-178, as well as MCS-284.

The detail for the virtual tutoring sessions are as follows:

One of the biggest challenges students face in this course is dealing with the complexity of the lab assignments. To be clear, you will need to finish four very challenging assignments, thus, the key for surviving in this course is to utilize the help offered outside of the classroom.
