The assignment is supervised by Diogo Luís diogo.luis@novasbe.pt (Special Online Office Hours are available on these timeslots) and Martijn Boons (regular office hours on Tuesday’s after class in office D215). We will regularly check and answer in the Moodle forum, so that everyone has the exact same information set.
