1. Please inform me if you detect any broken link below, or if a software has been upgraded or superceded by another, or if you have come across other useful and relevant resources. Thank you.
   
   
2. Please note that the teaching staff does not provide support in software download or set up. If you encounter problems on such matters, you are encouraged to approach the SoC Technical Services (helpdesk@comp.nus.edu.sg) located at the ground floor of COM1 (COM1 #01-06) for more general issues (see SoC's New Location and COM1 Floor Plans), or you may post your queries in the IVLE discussion forum where others might then be able to help you.
