Just a question: on the assignment sign up page on the wiki there's two columns, one for each block. Our timetable says we're in block A15 ( the W/F 10:40-12:30 block), but the column is labelled A17. I signed up for that one, but if you could let me know that that was the right thing to do, that'd be great! Thanks!
