Workshop

In this week's workshop you will begin on your group projects. You will find all the information you will need about the group projects here.

Next week you will have a 'check-in' discussion with a tutor. As such, it is highly recommended that you arrange a group meeting before the next workshop to discuss your data, perform some preliminary investigations and to think of a problem statement.
