- A tutorial group is handled by two tutors. Each tutor will work with two teams.
- Zoom will be used (even during F2F tutorials) for projecting slides and (occasionally) collecting chat responses.
- MS Teams will be used for file sharing.
The role of our tutors is different from tutors in other courses.
Not a source of admin information: Given the humongous amount of admin info contained in this course and the fact that it is constantly evolving, tutors may not be aware of the recent subtle changes to the admin information. To safeguard you from receiving incorrect admin info, tutors are prohibited from answering admin queries. If you have an admin query, please post in the forum (or email the prof at
cs2113@comp.nus.edu.sg
but only if the question is not appropriate for the forum).No feedback/help for yet-to-be-graded components: Tutors are prohibited from giving inputs for components not graded yet. Reason: work submitted for grading should be your own.
No direct tech help: Tutors are prohibited from giving direct technical help, other than to give you some general direction to finding a solution. Rationale: We want you to learn the vital survival skill of troubleshooting technical problems.
Admin Appendix D: How to get Help in CS2113/T
- No ‘mini-lectures’: Tutors are prohibited from 'teaching' concepts that are covered in lectures or other learning resources given to you (reason: self-learning is a vital part of the course). For example, the tutor will not do a mini-lecture at the start of the tutorial. But tutors can help you clarify doubts under the right circumstances, as described in the panel below.
Timing/venue:
- Please refer to the Schedule page for further details on each tutorial.
- You are expected to be present on time. Punctuality is considered for participation marks.
- In the past, many students have requested to increase the tutorial duration because a mere hour is barely enough to get through all the tutorial tasks. Increasing the tutorial time is not possible due to lack of venues and tutors. Instead, let's try to make the best of the one hour available by coming well prepared and starting on time. Note that the better prepared you are, the higher the chance of completing all activities allocated to a tutorial within time.
Grading:
- Your conduct in tutorials will be evaluated by team members and the tutor which can affect your participation marks.
