Zoom Links & Venue
The first two tutorials (i.e., weeks 3 and 4) will be conducted fully online (via Zoom).
The subsequent tutorials will be conducted in F2F mode. Note the following about F2F tutorials:
- The venue is given in the table below.
- We will be using Zoom in F2F tutorials as well (same Zoom link as before, given in Canvas course homepage)
FAQ WHAT? Why use Zoom when we are already F2F?
FAQ Why we need F2F tutorials? Why not do all tutorials via Zoom?
- As before, some parts of the tutorial are to be done individually while some parts will involve discussions.
Please help to keep the noise level low (as there are two parallel tutorials in the same venue),
(a) by limiting conversations to parts that the tutor directs you to have a discussion,
(b) and not speaking too loudly during those discussions.
FAQ Are you allowed to attend the tutorial via Zoom instead?
FAQ What happens if I join a tutorial via Zoom, without getting permission to do so?
FAQ What if I can't reach the F2F venue in time due to a reason beyond my control (e.g., previous class ended late)?

The mode
- The initial few tutorials will be through Zoom; the rest will be F2F.
- A tutorial group is handled by two tutors. Each tutor will work with two teams.
- Zoom will be used (even during F2F tutorials) for projecting slides and collecting chat responses.
- MS Teams will be used for file sharing.
Slides and recordings
- The Zoom recording of a tutorial will be made available to you after the tutorial.
- Slides used in tutorials will not be distributed to students. You are expected to take notes (or screenshots) during the tutorial as necessary. Reasons:
- Tutorial slides are meant to help the tutor deliver the tutorial, and not meant to be used as reference materials for you to study later). When some content is suitable as a reference material, we'll provide you a copy of it.
- To encourage some level of active engagement with the materials (e.g., taking notes) which is known to increase retention.
- To discourage 'no need to bother now; can look at the slides near the exam' attitude -- because most of the materials covered in tutorials are applicable to the project immediately.
Tutor's role
The role of our tutor's is different from tutors in other courses.
- Not a source of admin information, as per the course policy given below:
- No feedback/help for yet-to-be-graded components: Tutors are prohibited from giving inputs for components not graded yet, as per the course policy given below:
- No direct tech help: Tutors are prohibited from giving direct technical help, other than to give you some general direction to finding a solution. Rationale: We want you to learn the vital survival skill of troubleshooting technical problems.
Admin Appendix D: How to get Help in CS2103/T
- No ‘mini-lectures’: Tutors are prohibited from 'teaching' concepts that are covered in the learning resources given to you (reason: self-learning is a vital part of the course). For example, the tutor will not do a mini-lecture at the start of the tutorial. But tutors can help you clarify doubts about topics covered in the tutorial.
FAQ What kind of questions can I ask the tutor?
Timing/venue:
- Please refer to the Weekly Schedule Page (click on the Tutorial tab) for further details on each tutorial.
FAQ Can the tutorial be made longer (e.g., 2 hours)?
Grading:
- Your conduct in tutorials will be evaluated by team members and the tutor which can affect your Participation marks.
- You are expected to be present on time. Punctuality is considered for participation marks.
FAQ What if I can't attend (or missed) a tutorial due to a valid reason (e.g., MC)?
FAQ What if I can't attend a tutorial due to another commitment (e.g., interview)?
