The course is of a scrutinal character. Special requirements and scheduling collisions can be taken into account. However, attendance at the first appointment (preliminary meeting) is mandatory.

Event concept and work: The event concept is based on a high level of participation on the part of the participants. Predetermined literature must be edited to prepare.
The question has a practical relevance and implementation relevance. The course offers enough space for questions, testing different methods, support and joint discussion of the work. One focus (among other things) of the joint work is on evaluation methods of the surveys, the pointed presentation and presentation of the results.
