Information for Supervisees

In session 2007/2008, I am supervising the following courses:

• Digital Electronics
• Computer Design

Arranging a Supervision

Once you have chosen or been allocated me as your supervisor (in Part II, this is typically on the day of the third lecture of a particular course), send me an email at Forename.Surname@cl.cam.ac.uk. I will reply with a list of available slots, which are available on a first-come first-served basis. You should agree on one or more suitable slots with you supervision groupmates, and then send me your choice.

Typically, we will have one supervision for every four lectures in the course (unless a different distribution is suggested by your Director of Studies). In addition, we can arrange a revision supervision in Easter Term, if this would be useful to you.

Supervision Exercises

I will distribute exercises in the week before each supervision. Your solutions should be posted in the blue box outside Student Administration, or emailed to me, by 4pm on the working day before your supervision.
