🥐 This week’s releases

- The 📝 Spring Term summative has been released!. The deadline is set for April 15th 5pm.

📝 Surveys & admin
- Would you mind taking 2 minutes to complete this survey (it will help us know what needs adjusting in the course for the remainder of the term)? It would be great if you can submit your response by Feb 27, 2026. Thank you!
- The TQARO Survey is out! Please take a few minutes to complete it here.
Note: Where the TQARO survey mentions “teachers”, it refers to the entire teaching team of the course (including myself, Stuart, Jonas, and Yassine) and not just your class teachers. The TQARO survey also mentions Moodle but as you know, we barely make use of Moodle for this course: it would help us though if you gave feedback on the course website instead.
