If there are no available labs suitable for you...
This information is relevant for for South St campus internal students only.
If you are not allocated any labs yet, and you can only turn up for labs which are already full, then you have a few choices:
- Continue to monitor the allocations page to see if anyone pulls out of a lab you can attend. If someone does, sign-up to that slot using the online sign-up facility.
- Turn up for a lab which is full, and see if anyone hasn't turned up. Usually everyone turns up for the first few weeks, then the numbers start dwindling. If a lab is full, then perhaps you can work in one of the adjacent rooms, where we have most of the software installed. You can come into the official lab and consult the when you encounter problems. The danger with this is that most time other units are making use of the adjacent labs, and the tutor there may deny you entry into the room at that time.
- Work on your own, and arrange times to see me to go through problems. This is similar to how the external students do their work. You have access to everything they have access to, including the instructions on software to install at home (in the downloads page). I do not recommend this though, since external students have a tutor allocated to them when it comes to off-campus assistance, but I may not have enough time to support and internal student's home endeavours. Also, it is always a lot easier to work when you have a tutor to assist you the moment something goes wrong.
If you are working without an official lab allocation, make sure you indicate this when you submit your assignments. Usually your assignments are marked by the tutor in the session you are allocated to. If you don't have an allocated session, I will arrange for one of us to mark it.
