Week 4 [Mon, Sep 2nd] - Summary

[MUST-WATCH] Course Briefing Segment - tP (8 minutes)

This week, we cover one more course briefing segment, given below. As with other course briefing segments, it is compulsory to watch.

tP Briefing (Part 1 -- Getting Started)

Video 9 mins

As usual, the weekly briefing will be hybrid mode, and optional to attend/watch.

We strongly recommend you to have a team project meeting before the tutorial. Keep notes of the meeting, and update project documents -- the tutor will ask for those during the tutorial.

Do the following during the meeting:

  • Finish the tP tasks allocated for the week.
  • Help each other finish iP tasks. Tasks allocated to this week are especially troublesome and some peer help can be very useful.
