    In the beginning of the course, a teacher will give a short introduction to the course practicalities and gives tips for studying a virtual course independently. It is highly recommended that students participate in this short introduction, where they have an opportunity to ask questions.

    In addition to this, in the middle of the course a teacher will offer a short Q&A session, where students have an opportunity ask collectively further guidance for their independent learning.
