Theoretical Classes


The theoretical classes will take place in person, and will not be live-streamed or video recorded. According to the instructions provided by IST, all classes will start 10 minutes after the scheduled starting time and will end at the scheduled ending time.

Weekly, there will be two different theoretical classes. The same lecture will be repeated on each campus, first at Taguspark, then at Alameda. You are free to attend any class instance of your preferred campus.

Before any given lecture, the students are expected to study an extended version of the slides containing the material that will be presented in class. This will help us to dedicate more time face to face for discussion and problem-solving. The slides will be published weekly, at least one day before the respective lecture.

Lab Classes


Lab classes will also take place on-site and will be dedicated to performing three lab assignments. These assignments must be solved in groups of three elements. The first week of the course will be dedicated to the formation and registration of groups on specific lab shifts.

The registration of groups must be done via Fenix starting Wednesday, 29 September. We strongly suggest that you begin looking for partners such that ideally, all the group members can attend the same lab shift.

Nevertheless, students are entirely free to form groups regardless of the shift where each member is currently enrolled. The only constraint to bear in mind is that all members of a group must be enrolled on the same campus.

We provide the following assistance to help you form a group:

  • In the first week of the course (27 Sep - 1 Oct), there will be no lab classes (no content will be given), but the lab teachers will be present in the room to help you find other partners. We encourage you to be present if you are looking for other group members.

  • We have created a shared document to help you meet each other. You may fill in your name and get in touch with each other once you've managed to form a complete group of three people.
