How Does It Work ?

Lectures: Once a week, I talk about C and programming related topics (and I give the assignment for two weeks after); Practice: Once a week, you meet a teaching assistant (or me) and we will help you with the homework (but it is also required that you work on your assignments outside of these time slots); Homeworks: Assignment are given during my weekly lecture and result must be sent by e-mail to me, on Monday two weeks after (before midnight); Projects: An individual project will be assigned at the end of the 6 lectures. It will be a feature to add to the software you were working on. You will be required to deliver both a report (written AT X) and the source code of the project. in L E
