    Lecture recording: 
    We aim to record most lectures, but cannot guarantee that recording always succeeds (NO recording of exercises, or group work presentations), however, only the lecture part will be recorded, not interactive group work sessions or student presentations, that several lectures include. During many of the lectures, we will have interesting visitors from the industry, thus, please prefer to join online, instead of waiting for the recording, if you can, as then you can ask questions and we can have more interactive and useful sessions. The main purpose of the recording is that you may check interesting parts from the video afterward while writing learning diaries.

    Reading material: 

    The main course material is articles and a few videos. No coursebook. The material will be released always in connection to the next assignment. The main idea is that you get to know the material and do the assignment BEFORE the lecture on that topic. That way the lecture topic is familiar to you and during the lecture we will go deeper into the topic.
