===== Study Plan =====

READ THIS! : Each day follows a structured plan, starting at 10 am and proceeding for two hours (with one or two breaks), consisting of a mixture of teacher lectures and Q&A. After lunch students spend 1.5 hours reading two (and sometimes three) papers back-to-back, to prepare for the following discussion session. Discussion sessions are typically one hour long and are based primarily on student questions, often follwing a Q-and-A format. As the course progresses, material from prior sessions will be unified with new content -- following the program is essential to not fall behind and be able to follow the discussions in full.
