Due to the extraordinary circumstances this semester, exams will be replaced by mini-projects (1) to reinforce the key ideas and concepts, and (2) as a platform for evaluating the students’ progress in the course. The deadlines are very relaxed and will be updated as the school calendar becomes more concrete.

Alongside these mini-projects, several tutorials are provided to ensure that everyone makes the most of these activities. Please inform us if you have no access to a computer and/or a network. We will try to address these issues in the best way possible.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy working on these tutorials and mini-projects.
