Timetable for computational experiments
The 2012-2013 list of groups are available 
here:
. If for whatever reason you have swapped a course, please let us know so that we do not allocate zero marks for you. For each group, the course runs for four weeks, during which time you have to attempt TWO modules and submit TWO Wiki reports of your experiments. The first of these is due on the Friday at 17.00 at the end of the first two weeks, and the second on the Friday at 17.00 at the end of four weeks.
Dr Hunt, Dr Bearpark and Professor Rzepa will be available for personal discussion as follows and at other times by email or by arrangement with them. However, it is best if you direct your questions to a demonstrator first, as they are on hand and can solve most problems straight away.
- Module 1 Henry Rzepa (169) Monday afternoons, Weeks 1-4 of the course, and Friday afternoons, weeks 2 and 4. Paul Dingwall will be available as a demonstrator 1-3 Tuesdays.
- Module 2 Patricia Hunt (167) or Richard Matthews Tuesday afternoons 2-3, Weeks 1-4 of the course, and Friday 12-1, weeks 2 and 4. Bryan Ward will be available as a demonstrator 12-1 and 3-4 on Thursdays
- Module 3 Michael Bearpark (160a). Thursday afternoons, Weeks 1-4 of the course, and as needed throughout the course. Lee Thompson will be available as a demonstrator 12-1 and 3-4 on Mondays.
Specific times
- Week 1 (Monday): Laptop sign-out (12.00-12.30) from Room 237A.
- Day 1 (Monday): Check-up (have you got started) in level 2 computer room, Henry Rzepa.
- Laptop return is four weeks later (Monday) Briscoe lab, 11-12 during the study week following the course.
Although the schedule shows activity for only Mon, Tue, Thur and Fri of any week, you are of course free to use your laptop 24/7 and to work at times which best suit you. We strongly recommend you attend the first day's introductory sessions, these will tell set you up for the rest of the lab. The timetable above is a guideline. You should spend approximately 8 working lab-days per module, using your judgement on how you can make most effective use of your time (thus you might decide to interleave two modules concurrently). Previous groups have shown that time management is a skill that has to be cultivated, and you will get a chance to do so with this course! It is up to you to manage your time, not to do too much and not to do too little. Ask a staff member if you are at all unsure.
Report submission
Submit the URL for your Wiki report from this address by the appropriate deadline. These deadlines are on the Friday of the end of the second week of the course for the first module you attempt, and again on the Friday of the 4th week of the course, at 17.00 for the second module you attempt. You can do the modules in any order you wish provided you hand two reports in over the four week period at the times indicated.
If we do not receive the URL of your report (submitted via the Blackboard system, and NOT emailed to the individual members of the course team), we will attempt to contact you by email within one working day (Mon-Fri) of the deadline to check it has not gone missing. You should expect to get a grade on blackboard within 10 working days. If you have heard nothing and have not received a grade in blackboard, please contact the relevant member of staff for each module (Henry Rzepa for mod 1), Tricia Hunt (Mod 2) or Mike Bearpark (module 3).
The coursework hand-in times are fixed, there will be a penalty applied for every 24hrs after 5pm of the submit date. Any sections completed by the hand-in date will be assessed for full marks, additional material added after this will incur a penalty. If you are having problems, are ill or have extenuating circumstances please see Dr Hunt as early as possible, extensions may be granted and will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
