• The course will consist of two parts, where part 1 can be taken without part 2. Part 1 and part 2 will yield 1 and 2 credits, respectively.
  • Part 1 will consist of 2x4 hour lectures in June (time tbd with course participants), some non-mandatory homework with a discussion seminar, and a final test.
  • In part 2, you will work with a paper of your own, and polish your writing according to what you learned in part 1. You can determine yourself when you cover this part, e.g., according to your own paper deadlines. Please discuss your planned schedule with me in advance.
