Tutorials

Note: Gordon has made some changes to some of the tutorials and the linuxzoo website. None of the changes should be a problem, but just in case, this page has links to the old versions.

Please attend the 10:00 am tutorial (JKCC 9 and JKCC 10)
This close to the end of the semester, afternoon tutorials in the JKCC tend to be disrupted by the general high levels of noise and activity by students from other modules. In the morning, the JKCC is much more quiet. Therefore, I recommend that students from the afternoon tutorial attend the one in the morning instead - as long as seats are available. This tutorial is right after the lecture in clusters 9 and 10.
