Exercises: digital concept

The exercises will be held over Zoom. It is expected that all students switch on their webcams during the exercise classes. As replacement to the usual student solutions on the blackboard, the tutor will pick a student, who will then be expected to share his solutions with the exercise group through Zoom screen sharing. The student will then navigate the group step by step through his solutions, giving adequate explanations on his solution method.
