Below are various means how we communicate with you and how you can contact us.
Student services#
For any administrative questions, for example, how to enroll, unenroll, rules relating to your degree, you should contact student services (college).
Ed Discussion#
We will use Ed Discussion as the main tool to handle communication effectively among students and staff. Please click here for a basic guide on the usage of Ed Discussion.
The conveners will use the “News & announcements” category in Ed Discussion to post important information,
such as the weekly announcements and assignment/exam marking results.
Make sure that you check this category at least once a day.
The rest of categories in Ed Discussion can be used to ask questions about course content, programming, assessments, or other technical matters:
- Before you post a question, search the forum to see if it has been already asked or not. If yes, but the answer is not satisfactory, then you should follow up that thread by clicking on “Reply”.
- When you start a new thread, give it a descriptive topic. This will help others find your question (and the answer to it) and therefore make it easier for them to follow advice #1.
- Do not post solutions, or parts of solutions, to assignment problems.
- If you are asking a question, use the Question post type. If you your post is not asking a question, use the Post post type.
Contacting conveners#
Email: For any personal or administrative matters email to the course email comp1730(at)anu.edu.au using your ANU email. This email will be read by the conveners.
Please do not send email directly to the conveners’ personal email addresses, such email will be ignored.
Please also do not send technical questions to the course email, they should instead be posted on Ed Discussions (you may make your post a private or anonymous post if appropriate/desired).
Student representatives#
If you have any feedback (good or bad) about the course and you do not want to talk to the conveners/tutors directly, your first point of contact is the student course representatives listed below (contact details will be on the people page once course representatives have been chosen).
Student representatives for this course will be nominated in the first weeks of lectures. Please consider volunteering if you are interested (email your interest to the course email).
