    - Tutors: Sarah Strauss & Ziwei Huang
    - Goals: get answers to questions, discuss solution to
    exercises
    - Be prepared!
    How does this course work? (2/2)
    • Programming exercises (75% of grade)
    - Work on real-world problems and do analysis
    - Implement algorithms discussed in lecture as model solution

    • Report (25% of grade)


    - Detailed report about one exercise, choose on Ilias
    - Problem statement, solutions, well-prepared figures, results,
    brief discussion of literature
    - Template will be provided

    • No exam
    • 4 ECTS version: Only programming exercises, no report!
    Programming Exercises
    You can work in groups of two students
    Due Mondays, 8.15 AM

    1. Jupyter notebooks and data provided on ILIAS


    2. Upload pdf and Jupyter notebook to ILIAS
    3. In tutorial:
    - Discussion about solution and implementation
    - You should be able to explain the figures and the code
    - Have your notebooks ready

    The programming exercise is a serious time commitment!


    Policies
    • No late submissions.
    • Use any available material, including Python libraries (unless we
    specifically ask you not to do this).
    • Talk to others about the problems, but
    - credit any source in the code
    - write your own code.
    • Work as a team, provided
    - you disclose who did what
    - every group member can explain each part.

    • If you have feedback how to improve the course, talk to us.


    Write good code
    • Keep it simple!
    • Write as little and clean code as possible.
    • Comment your code, but don’t overdo it.
    • Don’t worry about efficiency. Readability is more important.
    • Keep to the interface!
