Tutor. Runs the odd-numbered labs and marks the protocol portfolios, and will tell you when your measure is unrecordable before you waste a fortnight on it.

Come to the lab with a draft rather than a question. Email only if it cannot wait for the week.

Background in instrumentation, which in this course mostly means arriving at somebody’s beautiful experimental design and asking how long a single reading takes. If the honest answer is four minutes, the design is already dead and it is better to know in week 2.

Marks the protocol portfolios. The thing most often lost there is not rigour but legibility: a record that made complete sense to its author in March and is unreadable to them by May.

Ask me first about your measure, your logging, and whether what you have written down can actually be run by somebody else.
