Sun 7th Oct A look forward, with an eye on your back!

Firstly a few issues that raised their head last week, Its important that we all read the instructions for each task and if unsure to ask. By you asking I can add clarity to the instructions and it allows you to meet the requirements with less frustration!

Project

The project has kicked off with the Brainstorming task, remember as well as the blog and the declaration in Moodle you must also send me an email with the declaration in the email and as of utmost importance the appropriate subject line. If you haven't sent the email you should not be completing the declaration.

Attending Labs/Lectures

I am at every Lab/Lecture and look forward to meeting anyone who is unsure what they are meant to be doing - though I am happy to answer emails it would be great if you took advantage of these face-to-face opportunities
