    This course is mainly based on working independently and online, with compulsory participation in three (3) Zoom sessions: one for the course initial kick-off, and then one for each of the Practices I and II (final).
    A more detailed schedule for each student's presentation practices will be confirmed later.

    N.B.

    It is important that you have (if not already) activated your Aalto Zoom account and have a working webcam and microphone for all of our Zoom sessions during this course.

    Kick-off session:
    Join us for a chance to meet your fellow students, break the ice, meet the teacher, and complete the first assignment (A1) of this course: Mon 13 September 12:30-14:00 in our course Zoom room.

    N.B. The possibility of in-class/ on-site practice group(s) will be discussed during the Kick-off session.

    Practice sessions (take place during Week 4 of the course via Zoom or on-site as agreed between teacher and participants):
    The Zoom 'room' will already be open 15 minutes before we begin to allow presenters to test their audibility/ visibility and the 'Share' functions for displaying their slides. The instructor will also already be present to invite you in.

          1) Mon 04.10.2021 at 10:00-12:00, On-site in Otaniemi (to be discussed in Kick-off)
              OR
         2)  Mon 04.10.2021 at 14:00-16:00, Zoom                

    AND

    Final practice (Week 6 of the course, Zoom and/or on-site):
    The Zoom 'room' will be open already 15 minutes before we begin to allow presenters to test their audibility/ visibility and the 'Share' functions for displaying their slides. The instructor will also already be present to invite you in.

      1)  Mon 18.10.2021, at 10:00-12:00, On-site in Otaniemi (to be discussed in Kick-off
            OR

    N.B. If there are three students or less signed up for one practice session, then two might be merged into one (on the same day obviously). In such a case, only one of the times above might be offered. The times will then most likely be extended for the afternoon session, e.g. 12:30-15:30.
