The objective of the weekly assignments is to give you an opportunity to practice what is preached in class and to check that you can cope with
the technical details of the subject. If you can't, do not hesitate to seek help! The weekly tutorials provide an informal environment for
discussing technical issues concerning the material covered in class. You are also welcome to discuss matters with the lecturer during his
office hours.
Most of the assignments are taken from past exam papers. Thus, they provide good indications as to what may appear in this year's exam!
Students sometime have difficulties distinguishing between two related but definitely distinct aspects of the notion of Group Effort:
- We encourage you to work with your fellow students on the assignments if this will help you to cope with the
material.
- We do not allow group-submissions.
- If you do not understand the distinction between these two points, contact the lecturer for clarification.
In other words, you should feel free to discuss the assignments with your fellow students, but you have to submit your
own, personal report.
