The module takes place from March 17 - April 17, over 5 weeks, from Monday to Friday each week, 9.00-17.00.
On Mondays, depending on the week, the Method class takes place in mornings or afternoons overlapping with the Process class, and Friday mornings are for your BA theory courses
- See detailed calendar below (room info in Evento).
**Some sessions may take place via Zoom (although sessions happening both in Zoom and in presence at the same time will not be possible).
Class sessions include lectures, discussions, mentoring sessions, in-class exercises, home assignments and independent study blocks (students are expected to iterate and advance versions in between sessions together).
