All the necessary study material is in moodle.

Further information

The course's Moodle contains versatile and clear material for independent study. The course material covers clear videos and lecture slides on each topic. There are many practice tasks and there is a model solution for each task. You can check your own competence after studying each of the six themes with competence tests, which also accumulate the points needed for the evaluation.
