E-learning

Study materials for the course (lectures, exercises and supplementary materials) are made available to students via the MS Teams platform. A dedicated class is created for the course before the beginning of the semester, and students are added to the class by the instructor.

The MS Teams platform is also used for assigning and submitting tasks, continuous assessment, and providing written feedback to students. The e-learning support further includes supplementary study materials and links to short instructional videos summarising the key topics of individual lecture blocks.
