Teaching methods

The course is a combination of lectures and student presentations. The lecture of 45 to 50 minutes will open each of the lessons. Subsequently, students will give a presentation on a chosen topic from the list, followed by a class discussion. There will be two presentations per lesson, which means that each of them should last 10 to 15 minutes. If time allows, required readings will be discussed.
