Calendar
Every teaching date and every deadline in one table, read from the same content the week pages are built from.
Semester 1 2027. Teaching runs fromMon, 22 Feb toFri, 28 May, with a two-week break after week 6.
Lectures are Tuesdays 11:00–12:00 and there are four of them. Studios are Thursdays 14:00–17:00, every week. Teaching precedes the exercise inside each week, which is why the lecture is the earlier day.

Public holidays
Nothing in this course falls on a Monday, which is not an accident: Canberra Day, Easter Monday and the ANZAC Day holiday all land on Mondays in this teaching period. Tuesday and Thursday miss all three, so no week loses its lecture or its studio.
