Day-to-day

All seminars and exams will be in the room as indicated in the study guide. The location of the practicals likely will be the CMBI teaching room for the whole time (except one afternoon!). Small seminars and improvised explanations will take place in the practical room too.

The Schema listed below is at the very best a vague indication of the plan. The availability of guest speakers, for example, will undoubtedly make us change this schema several times during the course.

Blackboard will be used for logistic messages (only). So please check frequently for Blackboard messages.
