Logistic regression (Shalizi, 2012) [mandatory, see below which parts]
A more mathematical (compared to our lecture), but still friendly explanation of logistic regression. Read the first 6 pages, that is, section 12.1 and the (complete) section 12.2. You don't have to know the formulas, but you need to understand their meaning.
