Online Resources
The School’s resources server, often referred to as ‘studres’, provides module-specific materials such as lecture slides, tutorial questions and coursework specifications. It can be accessed via the web and a file system mounted on lab machines.
The resource library directory contains other generally useful resources, including:
Exam Paper Archive
Past exam papers are available in MySaint. Solutions and marking schemes for past exam papers are not provided.
File Storage and Backup
Files stored in CS network home directories are automatically backed up. Network home directory snapshots record some old versions of files. Software version control is also available, and students are very strongly advised to become proficient in using it for all software development, even where its use is not compulsory.
Printing
Printing is provided via the University’s print service.
