Flipped Classroom (Prof.Burda): Di 10:15-11:45 HU Zoom
In light of the protective measures decreed by the Berlin Senate Administration, all masters courses in WS 2020/2021 will be held virtually (digitally). We will use an alternative teaching format – so-called “flipped classroom” or “reverse learning.” Students are expected to view the traditional videos on their own beforehand and come to the classroom ready to discuss the material interactively. For more detailed information please view the course syllabus available below.
Repetition Section/Übungen (Dr. Zessner):
This zoom conference room will be used for the flipped learning classes and the tutorial.
