Course Structure
The course is offered in an inverted class room manner. The students will be provided with lecture material including slides, videos, and exercises. Afterwards, the students are asked to prepare the contents of the course self-responsibly. In the exercise slots, the topics will then be intensified. Mondays, 14:15 - 15:45, we will have an exercise preparation session where you can solve the exercises with support of the lecturer. On Wedneysdays, 9:00 - 10:00, we will have an exercise presentation session, where we randomly choose someone to present his/her solution. The attendance in the exercise slots taking place on Wedneysday is mandatory. You have to upload your solution before the beginning of the presentation session in Stud.IP using the DoIT! module.
The first exercise slot will be used as introduction session. In this session, all required information will be provided. This will cover information about where to get required credentials and locations of the materials. We urge you to attend the introduction session, everyone who is missing will not be allowed to participate in the course. You can attend either physically or via the web access (see below). We also encourage students who are just on the waiting list in StudIP to attend the first session.
