    Pre-tasks

    Before the course starts you should do one pre-task: (1) prepare a one-minute video where you present yourself for others and (2) get to know the others by watching and replying to the videos. If you feel uncomfortable to show your own face, you may also use a drawing of yourself or a mask. You will also be asked to familiarize yourself with some online materials.
