Teaching methods
The study unit is implemented mostly through independent work, with a few face to face meetings. Attendance is expected only in the first group meeting, but regular participation in some online discussions will be expected. Most meetings and online work will take place in May-June, with some independent work to follow in July-August. All assignments must be returned by mid-August. (A more detailed schedule will be published before enrollment.)
Some of the assignments are strictly individual, while some can be done in pairs or small groups by choice.
