There are no more lectures from MPC for this unit.
If you have any queries about lecture material AFTER my last session, please contact the tutor who is responsible (look at your student handbook for details).
Copies of the assignment cover-sheets are to be found in both the unit reader document (see below) and the unit MOODLE page.
PRACTICALS
Most practicals are included in the unit Reader Document. Additional materials will be supplied in-class.
It is recommended that you spend some time (independent reading and research) attempting upcoming practicals in advance of the timetabled class - so you can raise questions when necessary.
