| Hinweise |
At the start of the course, students are paired into groups of two. Certain groups will share their answers to the exercises from the penultimate week every other week. Each group must present at least once during the semester. Groups won't know when to present in advance, and they must submit their answers two days before the lecture. Additionally, the course includes a small, enjoyable programming project. The final report and a brief presentation for this project are due in mid-January, with the specific date given at the semester's start. Grades for the course will be based on the group's exercise submissions and presentations, as well as their final project report and presentation. |
