Methodology

Students take part in the Petrozavodsk camp. I'm available for help with upsolving, and we will discuss a few medium-hard problems in more detail together. Last week will be lecturing on ICPC-specific topics (those that are less frequent in CF or IOI), e.g. randomization, math, geometry, FFT.

Grading

The final grade will be composed of the following criteria:
60% - Petrozavodsk contests and upsolving
10% - Library
30% - Topic problems
