The results of today's exercises should be used as input for your mini project. The mini project has to be handed in to Lars Bendix no later than Thursday December 8th at 13.15 - in either hard copy or electronic form.

Note! Contents (topics) will be one of the inputs used to guide the discussions during the examination. However, the quality of the contents will not influence the marks - the marks will be decided based on the quality of the discussions.
