- [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-tejastagra/404/): That page doesn't exist, or it has moved since you last looked
- [Assignment 1](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-tejastagra/assessments/final-doctrine-and-defence/): You write two cold emails to two real people, for two clearly different reasons. One email involves an ask, such as a job or an introduction. The other does not need to ask for anything.
- [Assignment 2](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-tejastagra/assessments/midterm-teardown/): You are given ten real cold emails. For each one, you explain what is wrong with it and why, using what the course has taught so far. This tests whether you can spot the problems yourself, not just fix ones you are handed.
- [Weekly Syncs: Attendance and Completion](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-tejastagra/assessments/weekly-syncs/): A weekly sync is a tutorial where you work through that week's task in class. To pass the course you must complete at least 8 of the 12.
