Cross Crits Schedule

1st years,

As already discussed in our DR tutorials on Friday, please find the schedule for the cross crits below.
Please be present for both days, not just your own tutorial. It will be extremely beneficial to see the work across the other units, hence the reason for this format.
Make use of it.

Again this is a pin-up to discuss your DR project, not just the programme. Prepare well and ensure that you succinctly introduce your programme and design agenda before addressing particular aspects of the scheme that you are investigating as part of your report.
