This course will be a hybrid course with in-person classes and (asynchronous) online exercises. Should in-person classes not be possible due to Covid-19, video conferencing will be used instead.This course and the preceding course Consecutive II will focus on the same topics and, where possible, a mix of methods will be used that encompasses both courses. I recommend participating in both, but this is not a requirement.- Wednesday 14.10. 12:30 - 14:00 Digital
