Detailed course plan (221026) including deadlines and presentation dates
- In each of the study weeks 2, 4, and 5 (i.e., weeks 45, 47, and 48) there is mandatory presence at a workshop or project presentation
- Note, however, that there are optional dates/hours for the mandatory sessions (all the sessions are, however, booked in TimeEdit). Each student or group should sign up for one of the optional occasions, which will be handled via a "choodle" in the respective preceding week.
- In total there are three mandatory occasions per student

The TimeEdit schedule
- For some of the project advisement sessions there are no lab rooms in the TimeEdit schedule. At those occasions—and possibly also at some more advisement occasions—the advisement will be done via zoom. For each advisement session, we will announce in advance where the advisement will take place (i.e., whether in zoom or in the indicated lab room).
