Adaptations of our teaching due to the pandemic
30.09.2020: To facilitate interactive learning also during the pandemic, we implement digital teaching concepts in our courses. We strive to offer hybrid teaching as soon as possible, so that attendance is possible on site as well as from home.
Currently we upload lecture contents as videos. In addition, there are weekly video conferences in which students can ask questions and content can be further discussed. In some courses, students can self-assess their understanding with quizzes that we upload weekly.
Students can find the details in the respective Stud.IP courses. We also provide brief insight on the respective pages under Teaching (this websie).
