Attention: Due to unforeseen circumstances the course schedule has to be changed. Please note that the course sessions will be made available on Moodle asynchronously as well so that everybody will be able to follow the lecture, even if they cannot partake in all the online sessions due to e.g. course overlaps.
This means that we will have Zoom sessions which will be recorded and you can listen to these recordings on demand.- Dienstag 04.10. 11:30 - 14:45 Digital

You need 11 points to pass.
Prüfungsstoff
Course slides. Therefore it is highly recommended that you attend class even though it is not mandatory.
Literatur
Recommended but not mandatory (!!) readings will be announced in the lectures. These are mostly journal articles and book chapters that are nontrivial to process and hence, not required to read. However, the exam will not exceed the material from the slides. This means that you really need to understand what is on the slides. When, however, something is unclear please email me. I respond to your question asap and rediscuss the focal issue at the next class. Should it still be unclear, please ask for a personal appointment.
