Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical and practical course units will alternate and various didactic strategies will be applied to support and encourage the students‘ progress, individually and as a group, as good as possible. It is expected that the students will independently review and prepare the different units to overcome individual weaknesses. Depending on the program, the students might be asked to prepare and execute presentations and participate in eventual projects.
Active participation in class is highly encouraged to foster the spontaneous oral communication of the students.
