Language of instruction
Teaching methods
All lectures are pre-recorded on video, and students will be able to follow them via their computer (or laptop /smartphone if you use my Youtube channel).
It is recommended that the students start watching video lectures at 8.15. Those who like, may also meet in the classroom at. 09.15. (to be announced in Canvas)
Here, the teacher will answer questions from the students concerning the topics considered the previous day. Afterwards, the students continue watching video lectures, assisted by the teacher. Normally, students work with this until noon. After lunch, i.e. at. 1 PM, they start with today's exercise and work with this until 4 PM, assisted by the teacher.
All information concerning the course, videos, lecture notes, exercises with solutions, project etc. can be found in Canvas when the course starts.
