-  * The marks of Test #2 and the overall letter grades are now on ePost. The letter grades are based on the weighted sum of the three components: Test1, Test2, and Labs. The breakdown of the Labs component (expressed here as a percentage) is posted under 2021L as before. If you suspect errors in your letter grade, take one of the following actions depending on the type of error: If you see an arithmetic error (i.e. the posted component marks add up to a higher letter grade) then email me. On the other hand if you suspect an error in the marking of your second test then wait until the test papers are in the Department Office (around the third week of June) and then request a copy of your exam from the Dept Office and, if needed, submit a petition to the Dept Office.

-  * Next Monday is a Holiday. In order to make up for its make-up lab session, additional workstations have been allocated in Prism so the Wed May 20 session can accommodate students from both sessions. The Wed session will operate as usual, i.e. the first 90 minutes to do the tasks and seek help if needed and the next 70 minutes to do the lab exercise. In light of this extra workstation allocation, the announcement below has been deleted.
