Probabilistic techniques: Tutorial

Welcome to the website to the tutorial class of Probabilistic techniques taught by Tereza Klimošová and Matěj Konečný. See also the lecture website.

The tutorial classes are co-taught by Tomáš Hons and Giuseppe Pino. The plan is that Tomáš covers the beginning and the end of the semester, while Giuseppe does the middle. The classes take place at 15:40 on (most) Tuesdays in the room S8. See the plan for tutorial schedule below.

If you have a feeling that

• you don't understand something,
• you can't make a deadline,
• you don't have enough points for the credit,
• you don't know something you are supposed to know,
• we haven't told you something you are supposed to know,
• we should change or improve something,
• for some reason you are not able to obtain a perfect grade from this course

How to obtain credit?

You will get credit for solving homework. We use the Postal Owl system for publishing, submitting, and grading homework.

We sent the access link by email at the beginning of semester. Let us know if you didn't receive it.

• There should be 5 homework sets.
• The deadline of each set will be at least 3 weeks from assignment.
• The total number of points should be 100 and you need at least 33 points from at least three different homework sets to obtain the credit.
• Roughly a week before a deadline we will publish hints for the current homework assignment.
  • The hints are published into the Postal Owl system before the time of the tutorial.
  • After task's hint has been published, the point gain of the task is halved.
• If you obtain at least 67 points, you may pass the course by a discussion on your solutions with lecturers (instead of full exam).

You may submit you solution either using markdown enhanced with KaTeX math, or attach a PDF with your solution in LaTeX. Please avoid hand-written solutions unless your handwriting is exceptionally well legible.

Provide a sufficient level of detail for your solution, including calculations. Incomplete solution may bring you only partial points. We may ask you to explain your solution in person in some exceptional cases.

We try to read the early solution submissions and give a quick feedback before the deadline (or hints).
