For each part of the course, we will list the required and recommended reading for that section. In line with DelftX’s policy on Open Education and Open Science, we will ensure that all required reading is freely available for everyone to read. This may not always be the case with the recommended reading, although we will endeavor to this also as much as possible.

Required Reading

All materials listed in the required reading section of each module are considered part of the material we expect you to study before taking the quizzes and doing the assignments. We will list what to study for each part.

Recommended Reading:

All materials in the recommended reading section are not mandatory and do not form part of the material to be studied and are merely there for those of you who want to delve into the subject further.
