Each topic is explained in detail in the first lecture of the week. Between the first and the second lecture, students receive homework, which they prepare in peer groups. During the homework, they can ask questions in the private group channel. In the second class, the homework is discussed, and the lecturer explains common errors and how to improve them.
Terms:
You can either pay month by month (you will pay the same price for the following month e.g. if you start at the "crazy bird" level, all the following months have the same fee), or the full course at once, and receive a discount.
