Resources
Reference material the rest of the site links to: how the weeks fit together, the room they run in, and where the course's claims come from.
Five pages of reusable explanation. Each one says how something works and why it is arranged that way, then points at whichever page owns the requirement — an assessment page for what is submitted and how it is marked, policies for the course-wide rules, and the week's own page for that week's task. Nothing is required of you here.
