The two consecutive weeks (June 8th through June 19th ) there will be two to four introductory sessions (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and 2-4 common discussion and summary sessions. All lectures and common meetings will be taped so it will be possible to listen if you are in a different time zone or for some other reason can not be present during the live presentation . In addition there will be group work and we will try to tailor the corresponding sessions with teachers involved to the different time zones (America, Asia). The last day of the course (June 19th) you will have a multiple choice exam that counts 50%. The remaining 50 % of your grade will be based on a term paper that you have to submit by June26th.
