Finding your way on the University 

Course introduction:

Message from the course coordinator: 

Welcome to the course IR116! 

Please begin by reading the page "Welcome and Course Information" and go and watch the first recorded lecture "Introduction" in the module "Recorded Lectures". 

As this course will be online and much of the material is pre-recorded our main way of communication will be on the zoom-seminars and here on the course page. I will be posting more material here during the first weeks of the course. A Time Edit schedule will soon be posted here with zoom-links to the seminars. 

This course is new and in the making. I am therefore especially excited over this course and am looking forward to seeing you (those of you who participate in the zooms, as they are not mandatory). 

Welcome!

Jens Sörensen
