Lab (Continuous tutorials or CT for short): CT commencement for CPSC 219 is the week of Jan 25 - 31.

• 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 (there will be signs near the cubical desks).
• Continuous tutorial schedule: [CPSC 219 winter 2015 CT]  [General Computer Science CT]
