Opmerkingen	In the academic year 2020-2021, all CS bachelor courses have limited enrollment: - CS students can always enter each course, regardless of whether the course is mandatory for them or not. - A maximum of only 20 places per course is available for non-CS students. These places are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority given to students with a strong CS-related background (e.g., CS exchange students, AI students, etc.). These students need to meet the course prerequisite requirements as mentioned on Ocasys. For more info about the enrollment procedure, see https://student.portal.rug.nl/infonet/studenten/fse/programmes/bsc-cs/general/vakintekening-procedure#cap This course was registered last year with course code INBIIS-08
