You should join physically in the Delta building for the practice session, but you can also solve tasks independently. We will use Zulip for the running communication between students and lab supervisors. However, you must schedule attending the practice sessions at the correct time (based on your chosen lab group). If you complete the lab tasks outside the scheduled practice sessions, we can not guarantee that you will receive timely support from the lab supervisors.

If you have any issues, contact lab assistants through Zulip or email.
