For Tutors

The role of lab tutors is vital to the success of this course.

Records for each student are to be kept on copies of record.pdf which will be used in the final marking of their coursework.

During each lab session, the record.pdf document should assist with:

• Speak to each student; making a note of their attendance.
• During the first 6 weeks: assist where necessary.
• From week 7 onwards: engage in discussions to help scaffold progress of students’ coursework.

Throughout: feedback specific and/or general difficulties to Vince Knight.

After week 10: return the filled in copies of record.pdf to Vince Knight.

Guidance

• With code queries: point students at section of notes where the answer is and then tell them what is needed.
• With writing queries: ask them relevant questions (refer them to marking criteria etc…).
• Make an effort to ensure you are fair and not advantaging a given student.
• Aim to be encouraging and enthusiastic.
