General
The course starts on Thursday, September 17, 2020, at 12:15 PM on Zoom.
Please note the following about the coming special semester:
1. The lectures will be pre-recorded: this means that we kindly ask you to watch the videos of the course in advance. Here is the SWITCHTube channel of the course (but you find also the week-by-week links to the videos below).
2. On Thursdays at 12:15 PM, we will organize a 1h online Zoom session, with a review of the main points of the lecture of the week, followed by a quiz about this lecture (available in advance on the Moodle page). Zoom link for all these sessions: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/81680751479
3. On Fridays at 3:15 PM, online exercise sessions will be organized on Slack (updated October 25). Here is the link for Slack.
