This module takes place online. Materials and recordings are made available online. It is possible to ask questions and discuss online via MS Teams. All lectures, excercises and presentations will be conducted with MS Teams. We want to make them as social and interactive as possible. Therefore, the participants are required to use a computer with two-way video connections (using the camera from the computer, from a smartphone or an external webcam). This two-way video connection has to be turned on during all synchronous sessions. This seminar is limited to 10 participants.
