    Tips for studying

    • Don't hesitate to ask! (email works well)
      
    • Make notes while studying the material
    • Read more than once
      
    • PC/laptop is recommended for the MyCourses platform (cell phone, or other smaller screens might not be optimal)

    • Using AI-tools during the exams does not serve any purpose in your learning and therefore their use is forbidden
