During the Zoom phase participants will give presentations that are based on the same research paper.

The lectures will be streamed live. https://uni-regensburg.zoom.us/j/63846578591?pwd=ZGhQUDgzRk04eVozb0hHU04zdzRXQT09

Active participation in the general class discussions following the presentations is strongly encouraged and can upgrade your final grade by up to 0.4.
