Overview of Labs

There are four compulsory programming (lab) assignments in total. You have to pass all of these to get a pass on the course. There are also some optional programming exercises (which we strongly advise you to do). Some labs have extra assignments. These are for your own pleasure; there are no bonus points awarded. You are supposed to work in pairs, so please find a lab partner! Only under highly unusual circumstances do we allow people not to work in pairs. Please contact us in that case. We never allow 3 or more people in a lab group.

It is advisable that both students in a group are at a similar level. Otherwise, there is a risk that the more experienced student will do most of the work, and the other student will not learn much.

If you need to find a lab partner, please use the Discussions option in Canvas to advertise your availability.
