Tutorials

Each session is organized as follows. TAs first give a summary of the relevant course content and introduce the exercises. TAs then remain in the room to assist students in solving the exercises. They finally explain the solution shortly before the end of the session.

Within one week, both tutorial sessions cover the same materials. The student group split will be announced before the semester.

Slides and exercises will be distributed via Moodle.

An updated script will be released as the semester progresses. Please express your feedback (typos, inconsistencies) via Moodle.
