The hybrid format will consist of -if possible- in person lectures and remote Python programming tutorials alternating weekly, where a lecture is followed by related tutorial the week after.
Students are expected to prepare with reading a research paper and writing a short reading summary for each lecture. Students will work remotely on the tutorials, but will receive help and feedback during the sessions, with virtual intros/summaries. Experience with Python programming is not required but very helpful.
