Second year lab home page

This page contains information for the second year lab course. In your second year the lab supports courses, for example there is a compiler lab set to support the compiler course. If a course is optional, it may have a CBC (computer based coursework) which will be submitted as a coursework using cate, but will be supported during lab.

Most labs are given more than a week to do them. This is because we think that you will need more time to complete them. It would be a good idea to read a lab as soon as it is published on cate to see

• If there is something you need to do at once (for example join a group).
• If there is a milestone : a part of the exercise to be submitted before the final deadline.
• Enough about the lab to work out how much time you will need.

• Exercise specifications and notes are obtainable via cate
• OS211 course
• C,C++ and Java
• CSG's page
• The department home page

• First consider if the question is about the lab or about general hardware and software.
• Ask questions about labs to a lab helper during the lab
• Ask CSG (room 225) about general system problems, or mail help.
• If there is a hardware or software problem go to CSG or mail help if CSG is closed.
• Mail Ian Moor (iwm@doc.ic.ac.uk) about the lab outside timetabled lab. The mail should be clear and detailed, so that a useful answer can be sent. There may be a delay in replying.
