Practical labs

Labs take place during their allotted time. On Tuesdays, a new lab topic is published, and that will be the topic for the lab that week.

There is no hard deadline for labs except a week before the exam, but do consider the fact that the workload is massive and cannot be done in a few days, especially as you will be facing issues and problems.

There will be 1-2 catch-up weeks that we have planned, which are meant to act as a safety net for both teachers and students. During those weeks there is no new topic given, so students can focus on either catching up, or working on other courses.
