This course consists of one preparatory session, dates for group presentations, and two wrap-up sessions. Participants will work in small groups on a project throughout the semester. The results of these projects will be presented both at a joint group presentation. An essential element of the course are the discussions following the presentations. In addition to the own project work, at least one contribution to other project topics should be written on the teaching platform Moodle. As part of the post-processing of the project presentations, there will be a small test that summarizes the core content of the project topics.
