Continuous assessment of course work
Labels
The course consists of 8 units half a day (4 hours) each (when necessary or topically useful, there might be two units per day). The course will be held semi-blocked (i.e., not the whole semester, but spread over several weeks). Precise course dates will be established during the initial meeting.
