Thanks to all who voted so far --- an ample majority that is already representative.
A large fraction of you cannot attend a lecture on Thursday or Friday. That makes me feel reluctant towards moving the lecture to e.g. Friday.
I prefer not to miss this week's lecture because I had planned to make the next homework available after that lecture, and the material in this week's lecture would be very helpful for you.
I want to have the homework ready soon because (a) Wed. March 31st is holidays and (b) Wed. April 7th has the timetable of a *Monday* at UPM to compensate for holidays. Therefore the next regular CbC lecture would be on April 14th, three weeks from now. You could use these weeks without CbC lectures to work on the next homework.
To reduce the impact of this lapse, I am (again) asking you to please do two things:
a) Those who cannot attend an extra lecture on Friday afternoon/evening, could you send me an email telling me if it would be OK for you that the course meets at that time, even if you miss it? Of course the recording and material will be made available, as usual.
b) In case (a) is not feasible, would Wed., Apr 7th would be a feasible date for you, even if it has a Monday schedule at UPM? To answer this, please fill in (again) another doodle:

If you could do (a) and (b) ASAP, and in any case before tomorrow, Wed. 24th, noon, I'd be grateful, because that would allow us to have a plan by tomorrow's 4pm lecture.
Sorry about all these questions, and thanks a lot for your cooperation!
Manuel

Hi, everyone. It will be impossible for me to give the whole CbC lecture this Wednesday; I have an unexpected meeting at 5pm which I cannot skip. I can still give a 50 min. session between 4pm and 5pm.
I would like to reschedule the lecture (or, at least, part of it). Since there are students from three different programs (including Erasmus students), I do not know your schedule and I cannot propose a slot that I think may be reasonable for you.
So, please find below a link to a doodle poll my availability for Thursday and Friday:

Please fill it in as soon as you are able and, if possible, not later than tomorrow, Tuesday, 5pm. That will give me time to make a plan and everyone else to adjust accordingly.
Best regards and thanks in advance for your response,
