This semester Carsten and Colin will be conducting separate tutorials to give you all more time.
To assist with this we are going to pair you all up for the sessions - so that one can be the scribe for the other - meaning you can focus on the discussion in hand. This is a trial - and will probably evolve - and will hopefully mean there will be no excuses on what is expected for the following session.
As a consequence - each of you will only see Colin every TWO weeks - so it is essential you upload images to the blog to enable him to look at the work and pass comment to Carsten for your tutorial. The work doesn't have to be 'finished' as it can be removed later - but it is very important to UPLOAD. So don't forget and catch up with uploads No.2 + No.3
