didaktisches Konzept
Classes are organized around traditional lectures. Students are however expected to contribute intensively through active discussion. Lectures are complemeted via, e.g., illustrations in R, joint interactive programming to better understand the statistical concepts as well as comprehensive problem sets to deepen students’ proficiency.
