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. The attendance in the exercise slots taking place on Mondays, 14:15 - 15:45, is mandatory. Optionally, we will have an additional exercise session on Wednesday, 9:00-10:00, in case we could not discuss all exercises on Monday.
The first exercise slot on October 15 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. We also encourage students who are just on the waiting list in StudIP to attend the first session.
