  9. 1st year: none received

  11. Worries about half of 2B13 - still no web access to hand outs and lack of practice questions (Susannah Moat)
  12. Second year tutorials.
  13. B46.  Any possibility of the provision of notes or a clear syllabus? (Susannah Moat)

  17. C++ - please can we be taught it (we know we can teach ourselves......) (Chris Davis)
  18. Coffee machine - great, but any chance of milk (small UHT pots) (Chris Davis)
  19. Print quotas - Don't seem to have had correct allocation given. Running out of printer quotas fast. The majority of the students are not prepared to pay around £15 for extra quota (Michael Kashi)


    20. MSc Issues

  20. Why do we have to pay for some notes but not for others, and why can't it be put on the internet and we can have the option of either printing them ourselves or buying them (3 courses in MScIT charged £5 and more for notes) (Lisa Pretorius)
