Course structure

This course is taught using an inverted classroom model. Each week, you will independently watch the lecture videos before the Monday amphitheater sessions.

The course sessions will be organized as follows:

• On Monday at 16h15, the entire class meets in the amphitheater CE 1 1 for experiments, quizzes, and discussion. This will be an interactive class. Before this session you should have finished watching the course videos for the week. Occasionally, a teaching assistant will correct an exercise at the board.

• The three hours on Friday in AAC 2 31 / AAC 1 37 are dedicated to working through the exercise set. In the first hour, starting at 16h15, a teaching assistant will do an example exercise at the board in in AAC 2 31. 

• Exercises are done in groups of 4 to 6, which you will form during Week 1 on Friday. Each teaching assistant will be responsible for 2 to 3 groups. Each group must submit one written solution per week, collaboratively prepared. The assistant will provide feedback on your work.
