Being comfortable with using the Unix shell and being able to navigate the file system is '''required'''. No help will be forthcoming on the subject on a basic level, only advanced Unix tools and concepts will be discussed and that only as a side note.

== About exercises ==
There will be weekly exercises, which have to be handed in after 7 days on  DTU Learn and peer evaluated the week after. A link to DTU Learn can also be found on DTU Inside for the course. You can only peer evaluate if you have handed in, and at you must have at least 11 out of 13 '''acceptable''' (by the teacher) hand-ins and evaluations to participate in the exam. The course is graded as pass/fail based on the exam.
 
The hand-in must be runnable code, when the exercise is making programs. Sometimes you are asked to evaluate different methods, then text or pdf can be added to the hand-in.
 
== Progression of a typical course week ==
We will have normal class based teaching. Online only in case of force majeure.
There are videos for each lesson, which can be used as later reference.<br>

* Watch lecture videos '''before''' the module starts Monday at 13.00
* Go to Discord (link found at DTU Learn) for the class Monday at 13:00.
* We start out with questions and preparation for the week, followed by walkthrough of last weeks exercises.
* The remaining time is used for doing exercises and asking questions/getting help. There will be no TA's.

* Monday: Solutions to previous weeks exercises will have been published at DTU Learn, Discussions forum.
* Friday (deadline; midnight) you do the peer evaluation of previous weeks exercises.
* Sunday (deadline; midnight) you upload the exercises for this week.
