Each week you’ll get a new set of challenges to work through, and the labs are the best time to get help from your colleagues and tutors.
Schedule and Locations
For the schedule and in-person locations, see ANU MyTimetable.
Lab Attendance
We expect you to attend your lab every week in COMP1720/6720 (that is, the one you have registered to in MyTimetable). But, if you’re sick or have some other reason that you’re unable to make it, make a private post on the forum with some other lab times that you might be able to attend.
- You can change lab time (or join a waiting list to change) in MyTimetable while the system is open. Once MyTimetable is closed for changes, you may not change time.
