The lectures below are from the Covid years. Not the best recordings and some made at speed, when trying to support the quick transition to the online world. One of the main failings was the sound, some of the early videos are quite quiet, but, i did get a better microphone for later videos :). However, i think there is still value in these videos, so rather than deleting them i decided to place them on the YouTube :). IMPORTANT, if you are currently taking SYS1 with me, the lecture material presented here does NOT reflect the current lectures, as always there have been adjustments and improvements to the lecture material i.e. when i spot the mistakes, remove, add, adjust material based on observations and feedback. Also, remember teaching material is spread across lectures, practicals and workshops i.e. core concepts may only be discussed in a lecture, a practical or during a workshop. Therefore, if you are taking SYS1 with me this year, do make sure you attend all of these sessions, otherwise you will miss core stuff that you need to know.
