Notes for students of COMBINED/DISTANCE studies:

As much as we would like to TEACH you in this course, our official obligation to those in your study option is ONLY to ASSESS you (i.e. we are not paid for teaching you during the semester). For this reason, you will have access to the regular materials (i.e. for attending students) and will be getting occasional emails throughout the semester with instructions and encouragement. Because of this NON-CONTACT nature of the course, we will NOT be meeting until the exam period, when you will have your final presentation IN PERSON at FSS in small groups with the teacher.
Until then, you will be studying independently with the help of the seminar materials, online syllabus and occasional emails, and communicating with your peers through the DISCUSSION FORUM.
