Welcome to our blog

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our blog. 

This is where you'll find information relevant to the course, regular class updates, (which one of you will be responsible for posting each week), suggestions, recommendations and your own input.

If you can't make it to a particular class, or classes, you'll be able to check what we did here, and what the homework is. Remember that missing class is no excuse for not handing in homework, quite the opposite.

The course will be evaluated on 60% for the final exam, 20% for the progress test, (initially on Thu 17.3.16), and 20% for attendance, participation and homework.

I hope that together we can make this a useful and interesting project.
