Schedule:

All the time slots and rooms can be found in the PDF file TimeEdit_SSY251 2023.pdf as well as at TimeEdit. The activities and associated time are given as follows:

Hardware lab sessions:

On TimeEdit, the laboration in the room Tanken is associated with four repeated lab sessions, and you only need to book one of these. Please try to book one from the first three sessions, so that there will be room for a re-sit lab session if someone misses or fails the first time. 

• Lab Session 1: for lab groups 1-8
• Lab Session 2: for lab groups 9-16
• Lab Session 3: for lab groups 17-24
• Lab Session 4: for lab groups 25-32
