Hello everybody,
Thanks for joining Ethics for Nerds! We’re happy that all of you are here and we’re looking forward to a great (yet remote) semester with you.
Kick-Off Meeting
There will be a kick-off meeting on Wednesday, 14 April, at 14:15 in our team in the university's MS Teams. We will walk you through everything you have to know about the course, answer your questions, and probably have some fun with trains. While we look forward to getting to know you all, attendance in the kick-off session is completely optional. Everything that is important will also be on the General Information page. So, don’t worry if you can’t make it.
Grouping Process
You will be part of a group of three to five people. You will have to discuss with your group members and you can solve assignments together. You can either find a group by yourselves, or you will be grouped by us based on your time slot preferences. (Once you are grouped, you can change meeting times as you wish. We suggest an hour per week.)
If you want to be grouped by us: just indicate your time preferences to us on your personal status page in the dcms by April 17. In this case, we will assume that you want to discuss in English.
If you want to find a group by yourself: one team member has to send us an email with the names of the all team members and your meeting time by April 17. Make sure to pick a meeting time that is ok for all group members. You can use the Forum to find a group, e.g. if you prefer to discuss in a language other than English.
The first week
The lecture officially starts with our kick-off on Wednesday and the first batch of lecture materials will be uploaded after our meeting. If you don’t want to wait that long, feel free to check out the first lecture module in the Materials section of the dcms. It will spawn on Monday morning.
General Information
You can find all kind of information on the dcms page called General Information. Be sure to check it out some time, as it tells you what you have to do to succeed in Ethics for Nerds.
We are looking forward to an exciting semester!
Your Ethics for Nerds team
