Teaching

I’m involved in a number of teaching modules (listed below). All slides, practicals and pictures are released under the Creative Commons BY-SA 2.5 license. I am aware that the slides are not very informative as I prefer not to put much text on them. Also, I still use the whiteboard in my lectures. In any case I hope you find them useful.
