<p>
<ul>
<li> Three compulsory projects. Electronic reports only using <a href="https://devilry.ifi.uio.no/" target="_blank">devilry</a> to hand in projects and <a href="https://github.com/" target="_blank">Git</a> for repository and all your material.</li>
<li> Evaluation and grading: The three projects are graded and each counts 1/3 of the final mark. No final written or oral exam.
<ol type="a"></li>
<li> For the last project Each group/participant submits a proposal or works with suggested (by us) proposals for the project.</li>
<li> If possible, we would like to organize the last project as a workshop where each group makes a poster and presents this to all other participants of the course</li>
<li> Poster session where all participants can study and discuss the other proposals.</li>
<li> Based on feedback etc, each group finalizes the report and submits for grading.</li>
</ol>
<li> Python is the default programming language, but feel free to use C/C++ and/or Fortran or other programmin languages. All source codes discussed during the lectures can be found at the webpage and <a href="https://github.com/CompPhysics/MachineLearning/tree/master/doc/Programs" target="_blank">github address</a> of the course.</li>
