Lab sessions and etiquette

PreviousWelcomeNextTeam setup

Last updated 23 days ago

There are weekly (on-campus) Lab sessions where teaching assistants will be available to answer questions, help you with your assignments, and handle assignment submission requests (→ "hand-in"). During each of the weekly Lab sessions, there is room for roughly half the class. To fairly divide these spaces, please sign up for one of the two sessions through the associated group on Canvas (in the tab), and stick with that session throughout the course.

The mandatory lab assignments must be done in groups of two students. For this to be possible, you must register for the same lab session as your teammate.

Information about the schedule and rooms for the Lab sessions can be found on the course Canvas page. On the day of your Lab, you are free to go to any of the available rooms. We will (try to) indicate the load of each room, so check Canvas for that information.

While you can technically still go to the Lab sessions on the other days, your questions or submission requests will get a lower priority in those sessions. That means that if the overall load is low, you may still get help; otherwise, your questions or submission attempts may not be handled at all.

Please note that the Lab sessions are intended for the above-mentioned purposes. If you only start/continue working on the assignments during the lab sessions, you will likely not be able to finish them in time. This practical part requires significant time and effort from your side outside of the designated sessions. If you have questions outside of the lab sessions you may use the Discussion board on Canvas to get help from your colleagues (but keep in mind to not share any solutions and avoid any form of plagiarism, as indicated in the ).

You will only get points for an assignment after it has been checked and accepted by a TA during one of the Lab sessions. Passing the automated tests on CodeGrade alone is not a completed assignment. However, please note that before you can hand in your assignment, your program must pass all the CodeGrade tests.
