Videos will be posted on youtube.
Lecture slides and videos will be published twice a week. Assignments for theoretical (TE) and practical (PE) exercises will be handed out weekly on Thursdays, alternating between theoretical and practical exercises.
We will still have to decide if the exercises can be graded depending on the availability of TAs.
The C crash course serves as an introduction to C for students who have only programmed in Java (or other languages) before. It is also useful as a refresher of your knowledge.
