7. If things go wrong
Computer Science is fascinating, stimulating, … but sometimes difficult
The transition from school to University isn’t always smooth. It helps to talk:
to your friends
to your tutor
to support services

8. Keeping in touch You have more independence – but more responsibility
Responsibility to turn up; to attempt the work; and to let us know if you’re stuck!
Go to the lectures and tutorials
Lectures aren’t presentations
you need to interact in the learning process
Have fun and good luck!
