Informatics 2B: Lecture Schedule

Semester 2

NB: From 24 Mar 2020, 'flipped classroom' is held via the Balckboard Collaborate system. Please have a look at lecture notes and slides to prepare your questions.

Notes and slides are linked from this page. Slides are given both as "full" (one slide per page, easier to view on a screen) and as "multi" (typically 4 or 6 per page, saves on paper if printed).

Merged versions of all notes and all slides: all-notes, all-notes-multi all-slides, all-slides-multi.

Lecture recordings: Lectures are recorded automatically. The recordings can be accessed by logging in to Learn. Currently it is not possible to supply direct links from this page.
Pre-recorded lectures are available from Learn for Lectures 14,15 and 16.
