Dear students, due to the current COVID-situation and the limited number of persons allowed in lecture rooms, this seminar will at least partly be held via online video conferences.

75% attendance in the scheduled sittings is obligatory as usual (either on site or via video conference), all links and materials will be provided on Moodle after the registration phase.
In any case, we will have interactive sessions with a good mixture of theoretical input, practical applications and plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

You will need a laptop/computer with headset and camera as well as a stable internet connection. Info regarding software will be provided in the 1st session.
