Help and support is provided on many levels:
- Attend all the lectures (come with a clear head and an empty note-pad).
- Do all the labs - our tutors are experienced and will always listen and point you towards a productive direction.
- Talk to your classmates. Form a learning group with your friends.
- Use the forums - chances are you are not the only one with this question.
- Contact us - any of us (e-mail addresses below). We won't be sitting on the phone 24/7, but most of us are electronically reachable most of the time. All e-mails and posts will be answered - mostly surprisingly fast.
- Most importantly: if you feel that you are or might be getting into trouble then see us straight away. If you hit a wall, neither staring at it, nor ignoring it will make it go away -> you will need to become active and talk to somebody. Almost anything can be put back on track, if you give us a chance to suggest a solution in time.
