  • The link to the video of the week is below.
  • If you  did not attend the lecture, use the video (it has roughly the same contents as the lecture).
    
  • The coursework will concentrate on material and exercises on the A+ learning platform
  • Exercise sessions will start next week
    

  The online discussion forum (the link is below)
  

  • The discussion forum is the primary channel for advice

  About the materials and exercises on course A+ in general
  

  • The readings are mostly guidance

  • A+ support automatic grading and feedback
  • You submit your answer and the system automatically gives you a grade
  • Note that the number of submissions is limited
    

  Specifically about the first round (deadline 2021-09-27)
  

  • There are exercises to be done
