It’s still a bit early for any conclusive remarks, but I’m really excited about this year. I found the first week to actually be quite interesting, although I was sure that at least some of the courses would be a bit “gray”.

Algorithms is especially surprising, as the lecturer is both very clear, and appears to be a really nice guy…

I’m also doing Graphics and Image Processing, which both, as expected are amazing - The literature on the subject can be a bit “grey” at times, but both lecturers seem to enjoy teaching the subjects, and the first exercises are especially interesting…
