Therefore, the first thing you should do is visit the library's website and learn the search features.

In the lectures we give our interpretation and exemplify the theories further in a helpful way. The two seminars are compulsory, and you need to activly present and discuss each others work. The lectures take place during the first two weeks and you shall also work on the first assignment this time. The first seminar, which takes place on the webplatform Zoom, takes place the third week. The second assignment takes place at campus the fourth week, and the Inspera exam takes place at campus the fifth week.
