Changes made since the last occasion
Guest lecture
New tutor, Sara
Changes in the instructions to the design exercise*
Change order of the exercises in the design exercise*
Divide tutorial short circuits into two parts and remove exercise on reliability*
More simple exercises on short circuits. *
Jimmy shall inform, how to do if a student does not find a group for design exercise*
Design exercise starts one week earlier.
* Changes based on comments from students last year.
