Syllabus and Schedule

Lecturer: Marcelo Santos

The rules are that to be able to pass the course, you need to do all the labs (1 to 6), project (report and working program) and exam. The grades for each lab and project is pass or not pass and to pass the exam you need at least 50%.  If you don't pass any of these, you'll have a chance to fix it. For the exam, there are two opportunities set by the university: Jun 4 or Aug 7, as in the schedule. After this, you can do it again in the next version of the course, if there is one.

The project can be done in teams of at most 4 students. Deliverables: a working program and a report (describing the project). First you should send by email the project proposal (1 to 2 pages description of what you want to do) and names in the team (the bigger the team, the more challenging the project) until the end of April.

Labs: lab 1, lab 2, lab 3,  lab 4, lab 5, lab 6

Lecture slides: set 1 (pdf, ppt), set 2 (pdf, ppt), set 3 (pdf, ppt), set 4 (pdf, ppt), set 5 (pdf, ppt), set 6 (pdf, ppt),set 7 (pdf, ppt).

The school has decided not to offer this course next year. So it is a good idea not to lose the oportunities to do the exam on Jun 4 or Aug 7 (check dates on the schedule). I have also corrected the labs sent so far (today morning) - if your lab's evaluation is missing, just send the lab again . The exams will be corrected on the last week of June.
