- Handling absence or illness:
- If you must leave for family emergencies etc, PLEASE talk to the lecturer, or somehow get a message to the department. Very few problems are so urgent that we cannot be told quite quickly.
- For problems affecting assignments or tests, see the lecturer (or send email, or call on the telephone). This must be done as soon as reasonably possible, if we are to make alternative arrangements that will prevent you from getting a poor mark on this test or assignment.
- For illness during exams (or other problems that affect exam performance) students MUST contact the Examinations Office within ONE WEEK of the last affected examination to apply for an aegrotat pass (for illness) or compassionate pass (other problems). THE ONE WEEK LIMIT IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. See page 43 of the 2004 Computer Science Undergraduate Handbook.
- A lot of students have missed out on a whole semester of study because they just went away. Many students have failed an examination because they did not report problems until they received the failing grade. In general, if there is a problem that will affect your study you should speak to someone as soon as possible.
- Students should sit the examination if at all possible, even if they do nothing much more than hand in a script with their name.
- It would also help if students read the examinations handbook that they receive, and double-check (triple-check?) the examination timetable.
- Some of this information is important.
- We should elect a student representative, see the AUSA Class Reps page for more information. The first departmental staff/student meeting for semester 2 will be held 9th August, in Room 361, at 1pm.
- 21 July (Wednesday), 1pm: first "bakery hour" of the term, in Room 461. Open to all CS graduate students and staff.
