  12. EIE : Subject Choices • Computing Dept courses are also registered on the DoCInternal Registration page found in CATE (cate.doc.ic.ac.uk) • From DoC’s point of view, you are a type of computing student • This is in addition to registration on the EE dept web • The EEE options page is the source of truth • There are multiple levels of registration in CATE • Register for group emails • Register to submit coursework • Register for credit (not available till later in term) Make sure you register for credit when prompted later in term • After week 4 you must complete modules you registered for • (DoC students can take an exam then drop it; you cannot)

  13. EIE : Exam and timetable clashes • If module exams clash you cannot take both modules • DoC <-> DoC : clashes in teaching timetable = clashes in exam • EEE <-> EEE : none • DoC <-> EEE : none (will be dynamically avoided) • DoC exam timetable is scheduled once course options are known • Should know exam timetable mid-term • If module teaching clashes you can take both modules • (Subject to above restrictions on exams not clashing) • Panopto should be available in most venues (DoC and EEE) • We cross-optimised DoC vs EEE timetable • It’s about as good as we can get • What looks like a gap in the timetable usually isn’t • (Rooms, teacher availability, problems for DoC3, JMC3, MSc * 5)

  14. EIE : Other notes • All DoC courses are 85% exam and 15% coursework • Except for the exceptions… attend the first lecture • We have synchronised CO3XX and EE3XX • If you see anything inconsistent, tell David Thomas • Inter-departmental database reconciliation is manual (!)
