The course does not adhere to a fixed schedule, since it will be adapted to the students' needs. Students are expected to show a high degree of independence and initiative in following this course.
Once a student has found a teacher for this course, student and teacher should reach an agreement about:
- the topic to be studied and the content-specific learning goals to be attained
- the course materials (e.g., papers, books)
- the learning activities (e.g., self-study, assignments, projects, presentations)
