remark(s)

Since the group is expected to be highly heterogenous, the final project(s)/assignment(s) allow(s) for a sufficiently wide range of options. In most cases, the final projects will be done in groups. In the course we will pay special attention both to the formation of the groups as well as the communication dynamics within groups, and the facilitation thereof by technological means, e.g. collaborative authoring tools and social networks.
