elective modules list

The attached are two files that list *all* modules offered in the Computing School over trimesters 1 and 2. Where you have an elective (or option), marked as 'O' on your module selection sheet during matriculation, you can choose any module on offers with certain restrictions. These are:

* your course leader agrees that you can/should do this
* the module deliverer agrees you can/should do this
* there are sufficient places for you to be added in

There is no fixed rule that you can only take a module offered at the same level you are now studying. So, you can take a 1st year module in 2nd year or a masters module in 4th year. But, only within the rules above. These rules allow you flexibility of greater choice, but ensure you don't do anything daft.

How do you select a new optional module?

* note what days your compulsory modules are on
* look through the list of modules offered on the other days of the week
* look at the level you are studying, and then the levels above and below by one year
* find out who is teaching that module (it should be on one of the class timetables opposite the Stduent Office)
* go along to the lecture and talk with the lecturer
* choose and go to talk to your course leader (CGT:Prof Connolly; CGD:Dr Sutherland)

Anyhoo, two lists below (sorry about some loss of formatting; headings are day, degree year, number and title).
