How much time do I have to spend on the course during February?

When the teaching starts you will be following the course full time until the beginning of March where you will go on a field trip for about 3 weeks.
In the beginning of the course you will be placed in a group with other students that you will cooperate with through the entire course.
It is important that you show up on the first day of the course as a lot of vital information about the course and the field sites will be presented on this day and as the formation of groups will take place.

You must contact the IT Support. Please note that the wireless network is a self-service system and that help with configuration of your laptop is not something that the IT Student Support is required to do. You can call this number, 35323232. E-mail: it-service@adm.ku.dk
