Lab

There are no mandatory handins, but we will use the friday slot to do examples, small exercises and discussion. There will be required readings for the discussions.

Required participation and presentation

Some active participation in the course is required. You should prepare for the discussion sessions by doing some reading and research and actively participate in the discussion. People who do not participate in the discussion will have to do a presentation of a research paper towards the end of the semester.
