  • We unfortunately have to ask you once more to self-study the material this week.
  • Please read chapter 8 in the book and/or watch the recordings, either from 2021 or from the authors of the course book (see links below)
  • But note that there is a quiz lecture on Friday 7.03. 09:15-10:00 with Kenneth! We test your knowledge for Modules 7 and 8. We meet in the usual lecture room.
