Remarks

This course is taught in English and there are usually some participants who do not speak German. Please give your presentations and write your reports in English. This course is a good chance to practice using English with (almost) nothing to lose. I will not be grading your English, but the content of your work.

At least one member of every group must attend class every week.

Practice your presentations with a stopwatch or alarm clock, so that you get the timing right. The schedule is sometimes tight, and if you overrun, the faciliator will have to cut you off. This is usually not pleasant.

Most groups bring their own laptop to give their presentations. If you do not have access to a laptop, please contact me in advance to make appropriate arrangements.
