Archive – academic year 2023/2024
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 practicals one week and 90 minutes lecture the other week. (Nevertheless it is not guaranteed that all lectures will be in even weeks and all practicals in odd weeks. Sometimes we may have to change the order based on the availability of the teachers.)
Both lectures and practicals take place in the SW1 lab on Thursdays 9:00 – 10:30.
