Course Organisation

Each week we will meet for a 1 hour lecture (in the DEMS T) and a 2 hour lecture (in the MCC T5).

Every two weeks on the odd week have labs (in the CSIT N112)

During each lecture we will discuss a specific topic and then during each workshop, we will conduct a small group exercise to practice some of the ideas discussed.

During each lab we will make group presentations to demonstrate the students' understanding of the lectures.

Take a look at the proposed schedule to see what we are likely to cover during the course.
