Week 4 [Mon, Aug 31st] - Summary

Course website pages for Week 4 are still tentative as we haven’t reached that week yet.

[MUST-WATCH] Course Briefing Segment - tP (8 minutes)

This week, we cover one more course briefing segment, given below. Like the other course briefing segments, this one is compulsory.

tP Briefing (Part 1 -- Getting Started)

Video will be released closer to Week 4 ...

As usual, the weekly briefing will be held in hybrid mode.

We strongly recommend that you have a team project meeting before the tutorial. Keep meeting notes and update project documents; the tutor will ask for those during the tutorial.

Do the following during the meeting:

  • Finish the tP tasks allocated for the week.
  • Help each other finish iP tasks. The tasks allocated for this week are especially troublesome, so peer help can be useful.

On a separate note, see our guidelines on dealing with technical problems:
