The course is split into two for lab sessions (two days, tbd
17:10-18:00). These use the Macintosh Lab on AT level 3, and
familiarity with the Mac OSX user interface would be an advantage. We
will normally need both tutors for each session. The tutors need to be
engaging and able to explain informatics concepts to non-specialists.
Each of the 3 coursework assignments will be marked by both TAs
and reconciled by the course lecturer/s. We expect to enrol 60
around students for this course.
This post is paid at grade UE06,
currently upwards of £12.50/hr.
