Some of us could not connect to Moodle or experienced a very slow connection to it. To make sure you are not missing any opportunity in forming groups or in learning how to do a good project, the following are links for the tutorials today. Please go to your own tutorial group as you will work with your fellows in your group but not other groups. It's also a good chance to get to know your fellow classmates, your tutors and your teachers.

HKU has a big community of Indonesian students. One of our senior tutors, Jojo, also came from Jakarta. I am deeply sadden for the loss today.

Perhaps our lives are full of challenges. We have pressure from examinations, jobs, family and relationships. When I read this piece of news, I found that all these worries are a drop in the ocean.

The SCNC1111 Teaching Team will support Jojo and his country wholeheartedly. We hope for world peace.
