Please ensure that you notify the Teaching Office immediately if you become aware than any student withdraws or degrades from the course, or will not be returning to CUED. We do not always hear directly from Tutorial Offices. Can you please also inform us if there is a change in Director of Studies for your College.

Each project has a project leader who is responsible for its organisation, running and assessment. Projects use a Moodle page to provide documentation, and normally use electronic submission for reports. Project leaders will confirm arrangements and deadlines for report submission at the first (compulsory) session.
Availability of computers and other equipment may be restricted at times outside your scheduled sessions, so you should allocate your unscheduled time flexibly between your two projects. Lead technicians can advise you on the hours of access to their laboratories.
