remark to the organisation of EW4200 B
(The course is divided into 6 blocks of 2 weeks each (plus 1 introductory week), which will each be supervised by one specific lecturer. In the first week of a block there will be an introductory lecture (45 min) given by the teacher followed by a paper discussion presented by a student (20 min + 15 min discussion). At the end of the day students will be given a scientific problem. In the second week the students will, together with the teacher, develop experimental solutions for the given problem (45 min). After that the teacher will, with the students, visit her/his lab to discuss the practical execution of the experiments.)
