Welcome to the course! We are delighted to have you here at SLU, Ultuna

You can find all course information here at the course page in Canvas. We will also use Canvas to communicate during the course, either through messages or in the form of announcements that appear at the top of this page. Previous year's course evaluations can be found on the course page on SLUs website.

First of all, please add a short introduction of yourself here. This is to make it easier for you to get to know one another and for us teachers to get to know you.

The course is structured around four themes where each theme contains a set of lectures, tasks and other activities. Each theme has its own module here on Canvas where you can find an introduction to the theme and instructions for tasks etc.
