As a principle, classes will be carried out in seminar form with the contribution of all students, not only using written material and the lecture. The students are expected to inform each other and work together. In this way they are expected to have more detailed information in a shorter time period.
The students are expected to have a certain degree of knowledge and raise the right questions democratically and reach the correct results in this way.
