Course syllabus

This page contains the program of the course: lectures and computer labs. The course is completely in-person, for both the lectures and the computer labs. There will be no zoom support sessions.

Many information, such as learning outcomes, teachers, literature and examination, are in a separate course PM.

The schedule of the course is in TimeEdit.

Lectures

See the course PM page for the "office hours" and how to interact with the lecturers.

None of the computer lab sessions are mandatory to attend. However you are strongly encouraged to attend as we have limited resources to provide help outside teaching hours.

See the section Examination in the course PM for deadlines of mandatory hand-ins.

Computer labs

Computer labs will take place in the computer rooms MVF22/MVF24/MVF25 as from the schedule on TimeEdit. None of the computer lab sessions are mandatory to attend. However you are strongly encouraged to attend as we have limited resources to provide help outside teaching hours. More info are at the "Computer Labs" section at Course PM.

These labs are not structured with presentation of concepts from the teaching assistants. They are there to help if you have questions regarding exercises.
