  • Exercise 1 is a practical exercise. It will be issued in stages starting in week 3, and be due at the end of week 8 (though you are recommended to complete it before then). The final part will be issued no later than the end of week 5. Details appear here.
  • Exercise 2 is an essay. The essay is due at the end of week 10. (Yes, you can overlap the essay with the practical!)
