The following timetable summarizes the supervision preparation work for the Michaelmas Term 2017. Please complete this work before attending the supervision for the relevant week and bring it to the supervision with you.
Week 1 starts on Monday 9th October.
Past exam papers can be found here. They are identified below using the format year-paper-question, so for example 2011-1-2 denotes Paper 1, Question 2 from 2011.
A small amount of web searching will no doubt lead to the discovery that solution notes for past exam questions are available. DO NOT READ THESE until AFTER the work is covered in supervisions. If you read them beforehand, then I reserve the right to (a) get VERY cross and (b) make you redo the question using a fiendish alternative approach of my own choosing. Why? My reasons are explained here.Everyone: start attempting the questions in the handout for Foundations of Computer Science. You should continue with these question throughout the term.
CST only: start attempting the questions in the handout for Digital Electronics. You should continue with these questions throughout the term.
