How it works

Lectures

We have very carefully designed the coursework to give you, the student, a wholesome learning experience. We will hold two weekend sessions per week for a total of five weeks.

01
Pre-Session

Before the session begins, students are expected to complete a pre-class reading assignment and attempt a quiz.

02
During Session

During the session, we will have live instruction interspaced with collaborative coding in small groups assisted by our teaching assistants. This will help you develop intuition for the core concepts and provide guidance on technical details.

03
Post-Session

After the session, students are expected to complete a short post-class quiz based on the principal concepts covered in class.

Labs

A lab is a TA driven 1.5 hour session that is divided into 3 major parts

Each lab begins by revisiting the quizzes and exercises done in the previous lecture session.After discussing exercises, we will have a semi-formal Q/A session.

All doubts pertaining, but not limited, to the previous session, and homeworks are welcome. The last part of the labs deals predominantly with the upcoming homeworks. It is directed towards giving a brief overview of the homework problem. We will discuss some code to help you get started.
