Laboratory [Fieldtrips] Information - FAQs [populate as required for your course]

Where will the labs be held?

All lab sessions will be held in Room XXX-XXX on Level One of Building XXX (on corner of Wellesley Street and Princes Street).

Is lab attendance required?

We expect all students to attend their lab.  This is your opportunity to get one-to-one help from the lab tutors.  We would like to get to know you, and for you to get to know us as well as your fellow students.  We would also like the opportunity to give you feedback on your work as providing feedback can significantly enhance your learning and understanding.

Should I use a lab computer or my own laptop?

We require all students to use the lab computers rather than your own laptop.  This is because it is much easier for tutors to help you on a larger screen and also because you will be using the lab computers for your test and exam so it is good to get used to using them. 

What should I do if I cannot attend a lab?

Please contact the course coordinator / lab supervisor (name here).  Name’s email address is name@auckland.ac.nz
