Literature review:
* in groups of 4-5

| Methods |
Approach
We combine theory presentations and case study based teaching. There is a strong focus on experience based learning, providing room for reflection and discussion of cases and exercises.
Blended learning approaches are used in the course: in-classroom teaching is used as well as online teaching. Teaching content is provided online after every course session (power point presentations / short eLearnings / reading material).
Students are invited to actively contribute to the in-classroom teaching sessions. Reflection and feedback questions are an essential part of every lecture. Certain content has to be prepared by the students for in classroom presentations.
Feedback from the students is collected at the end of every course session verbally and more comprehensively (questionnaire) once the course is finished.
