It is possible that we must still apply only remote teaching due to the continuously emerging new dangerous COVID 19 virus variants. Alternatively, flipped teaching is applied: The two weekly remote lectures are taken as homework and the third weekly face-to-face lecture is used for questions/discussion on the week's topics. In this way we can minimize the amount of contact teaching promoting transmissions of old and new COVID 19 virus variants and, importantly, it is presently regarded that flipped teaching increases considerably the effectiveness and interactivity of learning. If only remote teaching can be applied, students can ask public questions which will be anonymously visible in the MyCourses or they can ask private questions which are not shown to other course participants and are only answered directly to the asker.
