Class 2: Tutorial (27/08/2015)

This description is derived from notes taken during class and my memories of the session.

As usual we start the tutorial with student presentations, or Talking Circles as they are called in the course outline. There is a different question for every presentation and up to three presentations take place per session. The students are asked to work as interactively with the class and be as creative as possible in their presentation techniques. Thus, the presentations today include group discussions, subsequent sharing of ideas and fake High School certificates being handed out to illustrate numbers.

After the first presentation L3 comments on some statements made by the presenter and recommends some further reading. At the end of the class we return to the discussion question on the lecture slides. Many students share their opinion and we lose the direct connection to the topic at some point. After a while L3 stops the discussion and sums up the results.
