16 20 Apr Review: definition recap kahoot, old exam questions The kahoot can be found here. I recommend randomizing the question order. The question lengths for questions on relations have been increased.
17 25 Apr Review: feel free to email topic suggestions Suggested topics so far: Finite State Machines, Equivalence Relations

There will probably be some changes in this lecture plan eventually. So far, 2.5 and 8.1 have been moved forward a bit.

Please note that my lecture notes were not originally written to be put online, and should not be used as a replacement for the book. (Also: they may contain some Dutch here and there.. )
