The first week's lecture of the PAFSD unit at Portsmouth covered the admin of the unit, suggested reading and the introductory lecture on Patterns. Most of the students registered to do the unit appeared but I do wonder what happened to the rest.

The second week was missed because of illness and I will catch up on this over the next couple of weeks.

On Tuesday I went to St Patricks and did a tutorial with them on using a patterns catalogue - something I will do this week with the Portsmouth students. The turnout was good, around 30 students and when I gave out the coursework they asked a wide range of questions about it.
