| Technical Issues | Students need a computer, internet access, a headset (compulsory) and a Skype account. We will check in a personal online meeting whether the connection is working. Technical problems showing up during the semester that prevent a student from attending the class are subject to his/her own responsibility. Missed classes will, therefore, not be substituted. However, if a technical problem prevents all students from participating, the class will be substituted (normally added at the end of the course). |
