- An introduction can be given in the first lecture or provided in text to the students on itslearning.
- You are allowed to inform the students about the preferred channels of communication (email, e-learning platform) that you would like them to use for contacting you. It may be helpful to also inform students of within which timeframe they should expect an answer to course-related requests/questions.
