Assessment:
Your mark for this module will be based on your total continuous assessment mark (20%) and your exam mark (80%). The continuous assessment consists of problem sets issued (roughly) every week. They will be made available on this webpage but should be submitted as single legible PDFs to the module's Moodle page.
