    • Independent learning?


      • The course is based on independent learning and gives a chance to practice independent time-management. Here are some tips for success which you might take a look at already before the start of the course!

    • Tips for studying

      • Don't hesitate to ask! (email works well)
      • Make notes while studying the material
      • Read and watch videos more than once
      • PC/laptop is recommended for the MyCourses platform (cell phone, or other smaller screens might not be optimal)
      • Close extra tabs when making the online exams (to avoid any technical interruptions)
      • Using AI-tools during the exams does not serve any purpose in your learning and therefore their use is forbidden
