Note on the organization of EW4200 B:
The course is divided into 6 blocks of 2 weeks each (plus 1 introductory week), each of which is supervised by a specific lecturer. In the first week of a block, the lecturer gives an introductory lecture (45 minutes) followed by a presentation discussion given by a student (20 minutes + 15 minutes discussion). At the end of the day, the students are given a scientific problem. The students develop experimental solutions for the given problem, which are discussed in the group in the second week.
