They have to submit the solutions of the exercise sheets before fixed deadlines. These exercise sheets are not graded. They are intended as a communication support between teacher(s) and students and a way for students to know what they are expected to achieve within the module. Every week the students can discuss the solutions of the exercise sheets and ask questions to the teacher(s) during an in-person meeting.
