The boldfaced English podcasts were recorded in Spring 2017. The remaining podcasts are from previous versions of the course, and they may use other slides than those which are currently available.

Please note that only the current version of the Agenda counts this year. Please send an email to skhalid@dtu.dk if you find things which should be changed in the table below.
