All course materials, including lecture slides, notebooks, video recordings, and assignments, are publicly available. We describe our pedagogical design choices, focusing on culturally adapted tasks, integrated ethics, project-based assessment, and continuous student feedback. Our experience demonstrates that it is feasible to build a comprehensive and modern NLP curriculum from scratch in a non-English context, even when instructors come primarily from industry backgrounds."
