You may want to consult Previous years' pages for additional material. I will be making some adjustments to the course based on feedback last year, but for anyone who wants to read ahead, last year's page is a pretty good guide. Lecture slides, exercise sheets, readings and videos (as applicable - we won't have all of those every week) will appear no later than 7pm on Friday of the week before you are expected to attend/do/read/watch them (at least, that's my aim: apologies if I occasionally don't make it).
All office hours take place in my office, room 5.05 of the Informatics Forum, unless otherwise stated.
