Our tutorial IDs are different from Canvas. Format: CS2103T-W11
means a tutorial of CS2103T
module, held on Wednesday
at 1100
, and so on.
Zoom Links & Venue
The first few tutorials will be conducted via Zoom.
- Zoom links for tutorial sessions will be available in Canvas module homepage, from week 3 Tuesday (i.e., 1 day before the first tutorial of the semester).
You may use the tutorial venue to join the Zoom session if you wish.
The subsequent tutorials will be conducted in F2F mode. Note the following about F2F tutorials:
- The venue is given in the table below.
- We will be using Zoom in F2F tutorials as well (same Zoom link as before), as it's needed for,
(a) screen-sharing the slides,
(b) collecting answers via PM or polls,
(c) recording the tutorial for your future reference. - As before, some parts of the tutorial are to be done individually while some parts will involve discussions.
Please help to keep the noise level low (as there are two parallel tutorials in the same venue),
(a) by limiting conversations to parts that the tutor directs you to have a discussion,
(b) and not speaking too loudly during those discussions. - Are you allowed to attend the tutorial via Zoom instead? By default, no.
Reason: it goes against the purpose of F2F tutorials (i.e., to get the whole team to meet physically) and the NUS directive to move all small classes to F2F mode.
However, you can request (by emailingcs2103@comp.nus.edu.sg
) to attend the tutorial of a specific week via Zoom, if you have a valid reason (e.g., MC, taking part in an NUS-related event).

The mode
- The initial few tutorials will be through Zoom; the rest will be F2F.
- A tutorial group is handled by two tutors. Each tutor will work with two teams.
- Zoom will be used (even during F2F tutorials) for projecting slides and collecting chat responses.
- MS Teams will be used for file sharing.
Slides and tutorial recordings:
- The Zoom recording of a tutorial will be made available to you after the tutorial.
- Slides used in tutorials will not be distributed to students. You are expected to take notes (or screenshots) during the tutorial as necessary. Reasons:
- Tutorial slides are meant to help the tutor deliver the tutorial, and not meant to be used as reference materials for you to study later). When some content is suitable as a reference material, we'll provide you a copy of it.
- To encourage some level of active engagement with the materials (e.g., taking notes) which is known to increase retention.
- To discourage 'no need to bother now; can look at the slides near the exam' attitude -- because most of the materials covered in tutorials are applicable to the project immediately.
The role of our tutors is different from tutors in other modules.
Not a source of admin information: Given the humongous amount of admin info contained in this module and the fact that it is constantly evolving, tutors may not be aware of the recent subtle changes to the admin information. To safeguard you from receiving incorrect admin info, tutors are prohibited from answering admin queries. If you have an admin query, please post in the forum (or email the prof at
cs2103@comp.nus.edu.sg
but only if the question is not appropriate for the forum).No feedback/help for yet-to-be-graded components: Tutors are prohibited from giving inputs for components not graded yet. Reason: work submitted for grading should be your own.
No direct tech help: Tutors are prohibited from giving direct technical help, other than to give you some general direction to finding a solution. Rationale: We want you to learn the vital survival skill of troubleshooting technical problems.
- No ‘mini-lectures’: Tutors are prohibited from 'teaching' concepts that are covered in lectures or other learning resources given to you (reason: self-learning is a vital part of the module). For example, the tutor will not do a mini-lecture at the start of the tutorial. But tutors can help you clarify doubts under the right circumstances, as described in the panel below.
Timing/venue:
- Please refer to the Schedule page for further details on each tutorial.
- You are expected to be present on time. Punctuality is considered for participation marks.
- In the past, many students have requested to increase the tutorial duration because a mere hour is barely enough to get through all the tutorial tasks. Increasing the tutorial time is not possible due to lack of venues and tutors. Instead, let's try to make the best of the one hour available by coming well prepared and starting on time. Note that the better prepared you are, the higher the chance of completing all activities allocated to a tutorial within time.
Grading:
- Your conduct in tutorials will be evaluated by team members and the tutor which can affect your participation marks.
