Teaching methods

The course is completed as an online study module via the Moodle learning platform. It is carried out independently and in small groups during the designated implementation period.

During this time, students are expected to familiarize themselves with the course assignments and schedule. In addition, each student selects a small group based on their specific area of interest. During the course, students will engage with theoretical materials, complete an online exam and course assignments, and prepare a seminar project including peer evaluations, following the provided instructions. The course requires independent study, self-direction, and careful time management.
