	The Teams-based course form was used for the first time for this course in Autumn 2024 ~~(i.e. last year)~~, but it has been used at the Spring-term [[Social Engineering]] course for a couple of years before that. We will use synchronous (same time, same place) e-learning - the lectures and seminars take place according to the university schedule.

We will use synchronous (same time, same place) e-learning - the lectures and seminars take place according to the university schedule.

	Lectures (by Kaido) will be classic lectures combined with short (~5 min; typically 2-4 in a lecture) discussion breaks. As a rule, please keep your camera and microphone off during the lecture (to conserve bandwidth - we will likely have 60-70 people around). During the lecture parts, Kaido will talk and show the accompanying slides - but in addition to listening, you can reflect/feedback/discuss the topic in the Teams chat which will be open throughout the lecture.

	A marathon exam session will take place on THE_DATE_HERE, starting at THE_TIME_HERE in Teams (a special Exam session in the Seminars channel). We will have time-boxed sessions, so nobody has to wait on Teams for the whole day.		All information is on the [[Exam schedule]] page.

	~~There will be 2 shorter exam sessions as well.~~ All information is on the [[Exam schedule]] page.

	The default form of the exam is '''conversation''' on one (chosen by the students) of three randomly-chosen topics. The student will receive the topics, pick one, get ~10 minutes for preparation, and then have a ~10-minute chat with Kristjan. The earlier form of essay-writing is regrettably not feasible anymore.
