The mode we propose corresponds to the rotation mode insofar as we provide that the student groups are present alternately in the lecture hall. It specifies the rotation mode in more detail, since we provide for the students who are not in the lecture room that they take part in the course units remotely and synchronously (we are not asking them to learn the material covered in the unit in self-study).
Please create access to Microsoft Teams before the first lesson. Microsoft Teams is used flexibly, either at the lecturer's desk in the lecture room (or - if it is not allowed to enter the lecture rooms - in the home office). The screen of the lecturer's desk is shared between the students in the lecture room and those at home. For the students in the lecture room, the lecturer's PC projects onto the whiteboard; students at home need their own laptop (tablet), with which MS-Teams can share the screen. The sound is transmitted from the lecture room via a microphone to the students in the home office. (It is not intended / necessary to film the lecturer.)
The course takes place synchronously; it is not intended to record the units for asynchronous use.
If you are not subject to travel restrictions, attendance is mandatory (either in the lecture room or remotely via MS-Teams) on specified dates. Please expect that – most likely – you will have to be present in the lecture room every second meeting. Depending on the Corona situation, the meetings with physical attendance will be announced shortly before the course begins. Please note that this mode is very flexible and the presence in the lecture room can vary between 0% - 100%.
Only if you are subject to travel restrictions can you take part in the course in remote mode.
The seminar tackles topics in regulation of network industries. The main recent empirical and theoretical papers will be presented. There will be a session on policy issues.
The aim is that students present the main papers and via discussion of results get an impression of the state of the art of research in the field. Specific regulatory decisions of authorities will also be discussed.
