In the Moodle course, you will find resources for self-study. Several times a semester, introductory Zoom workshops are offered where you can also have your questions answered. You can register for these sessions yourself via a Moodle survey. The current workshop dates are shown on the following poster. To stay informed about upcoming dates, please join the Moodle course.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, please first check the corresponding Moodle forum for assistance. If you cannot find the answer there, feel free to send us an email at ifb-wissarb[at]uni-wuppertal.de.
