This allows you to watch the videos at any time that best suits your personal schedule. • Questions If you have any question on the format or the subject, please do not hesitate to contact me via email (cc mitchell.goldberg@unibas.ch). Depending on the question, I will either reply by email or schedule a zoom meeting. If the question is relevant for other students, I may include it in a Q&A video. • Evaluation The evaluation will be a mix of a final exam and a group project. You’ll get all the information you need in the first video. If possible, the final exam will be on-site. • Presentation The only live lecture you have to mark in your calendar is on December 3rd, 14:15 - 18:00. During this lecture you will present your group projects. We will most likely use zoom for this session, but more on this later. |
