Folder structure

admin/: Auxiliary files for the course manager used to create materials, manage the course, or to set up the course page. Not distributed to students.

docs/: Files related to this github repo.

exam/: Materials for creating a written pen&paper exam using the exam LaTeX package. An example mock exam is provided.

files/: General course files to be distributed to students during the course.

mandatory/: Materials for mandatory activities: coding test and home assignments. Not shared publicly.

unit[XX]_[name]/, where [XX] is 01,..,25: The 25 units. All files are distributed students, including contents of files and reading subfolders in advance, except for .key files which are used by the instructor to create the .pdf slides. A few units do not have an exercise. An additional unit 26 is a personalized lecture drawing from the instructor's own research and is not provided here. Additional units 27 and 28 have no materials as they are reserved for taking and discussing a mock exam, respectively.
