Please note that the week 45 exercise session will take place on Tuesday November 5th, while there will be a lecture on Thursday November 7th.
Hi all,
John and I have already begun correcting the assignments, and I suspect that the results will be published very soon.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the correction of the assignments, please send me an email or talk to me at the next exercise session October 24st, and I will elaborate. This will be my final exercise session before Elias takes over and I go into parental leave (pappaperm).
I also encourage those of you who struggled with the assignment to show up this Thursday, so that we can discusss/go through the exercises in detail. If time permits, I will answer emails during parental leave, but I cannot guarantee anything :)
Best,
Snorre

Snorre :)
