Practicals
Seminars take place during their allotted time - on Thursdays and online on Fridays. Each seminar topic is preceded by a lecture where the topic for the week is announced and introduced. All lectures and labs are available from the start of the course. This means you can complete the course in your own time and ask questions about any of the labs and lectures in all the seminars. Everything can be completed independently, however the plan for the final project should be presented beforehand to make sure it fits all the criteria.
Please note, that this course starts on the second week of the semester (08.09.2025 on-wards) because we want the lectures to precede the practicals.
