Preparation:

The teacher's course does not require preparatory work, but it is always useful to be prepared before a course to increase the learning yield. It might be nice to have looked a bit at the introduction and module here in advance.

Finishing work:

You will be sent course material and suggestions for follow-up work after the course has ended.
