Archive – academic year 2022/23

In comparison to previous years, the course will be compressed, as it now has fewer hours than before. In the official schedule in SIS, the course is presented as having 45 minutes lecture and 45 minutes practicals every week. In reality, we will usually have 90 minutes lecture one week and 90 minutes practicals the following week. (Nevertheless it is not guaranteed that all lectures will be in odd weeks and all practicals in even weeks. Sometimes we may have to change the order based on the availability of the teachers.)
