Meeting with the reference group - Course information - Clear - The semester plan - with the modules - People should do the recommended exercises - The module pages and the text book - Module pages are easy to use - The book is more relaxed than the lectures, might be a good idea to read it beforehand - Lectures: plenary and interactive - Interactive lectures is not a good idea for all parts of the course - Plenary lectures seem good - Some people might be a bit confused by the switching between slides and notes - Important to make sure the students know what they need to understand and what should only be known of - Compulsory exercises and dates for hand-in (tentatively 22.02 and 12.04) - Deadline for exercise 2 can be extended to after easter for the 3rd years going on excursion - R and the R workshop - There will be an interactive lecture on R-markdown - It's not that Mette doesn't like Python, she just likes R better - Exam - Digital exam - The course does not have strong focus on proofs. However, some proofs or derivations are relevant. These are often shown on the module page, given in class or on the recommended or compulsory exercises. - You will be expected to be able to read R-code and explain what it does - Might be expected to write some R-code, but this is still undecided Dates for the last two meetings for the reference group - 27.02.19 at 14:15 - 02.05.19 at 10:15 Guest lectures: this semester Bearingpoint will give a guest lecture on trees (04.03) - this was also done in 2018 and gave good feedback. New is that one more company has appoached me and asked to give a guest lecture (and there might be more), but the lecture schedule is now full. We may use spots in interactive lectures or exercises - what is your take on this? Would you like this or should the companies instead approach Nabla/Delta/Omega or others? This is of cause a sign that the skills that you get in this course is sought after by the companies. - Nope, contact the study assicoations other?
