There will be three or four organized sessions of 3 hours each, consisting mainly of short exercises, student presentations and peer feedback. This comes in addition to individual work on the presentations and portfolio and peer-reviewing peer presentations.
Canvas will be used to provide the participants with information about the course and weekly assignments, various resources for preparing the presentations as well as guidelines for the peer-reviewing and the portfolio.

Detailed guidelines will be made available at the beginning of the course. Participants will get feedback on their portfolio during the course. The final version of the portfolio will be evaluated as pass/fail.
