The course schedule has now been updated. Instead of moving the entire schedule once more, we have shifted the topics of the lectures and added an extra lecture on Wednesday, May 2nd. This implies that the seminars will run as formerly planned, with the first seminar proper being held on Tuesday, March 6th. All students are requested to prepare themselves well for the seminars, and the group responsible for the seminar should post their abstract, questions for discussion etc. at ClassFronter before the weekend prior to the seminar.
NB! Due to the delay of the course, the deadline for the submission of the draft paper has been moved to April 18th.
