We’ll be using Github management tools to keep track of projects and assignments.
You need to create an account on Github, a form will be sent at the beginning of the M1 year and your account will follow you during the 2 years. It will be used

  • - for projects in S2 and S3

  • - during internships, to submit your reports and presentations

  • - during internships for some of you, for follow-up purposes

  • - during EDP (S2) and CS3 courses, via the github classroom platform, to hand in your assignments.
