Topic outline

  • General

    Welcome to the course!

    Below is a tentative schedule. Lectures are held in a hybrid mode, so you may attend either by being physically present at the lecture room (U006) or by following the lectures online via Zoom. Please scroll down this page for the Zoom link. The lectures will also be recorded and posted online.

    Assessment is based on online quizzes (40%) and two coursework assignments (30% + 30%). Quizzes need to be completed before the lectures (except the first, 7th, and last lecture). Quizzes are individual work, and any instances of colluding or sharing answers will be treated as academic misconduct.

    Assignment 1 is individual work and consist of problem-solving type questions. Assignment 2 is group work. Please see the Assignments section for more info.
