Exercises

Testat: Students are required to hand in 70% of the exercise sheets. Study groups may write multiple names on a single sheet.

Mailbox: Students who are not able to attend the exercise classes may hand in their solutions until Friday, 13.00 in the assistant's (physical) mailbox. It is located in HIT K-floor, next to the secretariat. The assistants' electronic mailbox is yet another way to hand in (scanned) homework.
