Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I enroll?
A: We will announce HW0 during the very first class and distribute the enrollment code based on the HW0 score by the second class. You will have 5 days to finish HW0.
Q: Can I audit?
A: Yes, if you’re an NTU student. No, otherwise. Due to limited TA resources, we won’t grade your homework.
Q: What are the prerequisites?
A: Having basic knowledge in discrete mathematics, programming, and networking is strongly recommended. You're also expected to comprehend research papers and conduct a research project.
