Lab (Continuous tutorials or CT for short): CT commencement week of January 20th.

In addition to my office hours and your time in lab there will be time set aside for you to ask questions. These sessions will typically be staffed by the tutorial instructors but they are not mandatory for students and are provided so that you can get help while you are in the computer lab.
The CT is located in the first floor Math Sciences computer lab near MS 151 "The Help Desk" (there will be signs near the cubical desks).
Continuous tutorial schedule: [CPSC 233 winter 2014 CT]
