Program 2021
Lectures and exercises will take place on Discord (https://discord.gg/JxV3pHyHgV). Please register with your full name. Will use Discord for online classes and collaboration with your project partners.
The course has two main parts, the first half is lectures and exercises and the last half is project work ending with the exam on Friday 22th of January.
This term, we will be using Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates, the TA, and myself. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff, I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza here
