# Content Introduction

### Hands-on

This is a hands-on course. That means we aim to teach with students being active and coding a lot! That's why you will find many notebooks (colabs) used to show code and let the students practice with them. We use slides to complement the notebooks. At the end, you are free to choose how you want to introduce the concepts. The given material is a suggestion.&#x20;

### Weekly Schedule

* **Monday**: Regular Class. We recap the homework.&#x20;
* **Wednesday**: Regular Class. We give homework to the students.
* **Wednesday - Monday:** Students work on their homework

### Let's have a look at the Material

* **Drive:** You can find all files in the Drive folder? Do you see the slides and the colabs?
* **Student Hub:** The student hub is the "knowledge base" for the students where they find extra resources about the concepts being covered in the course. It is currently under construction. We will share it with you soon!

### How do I share material with students?

We use Google Classroom to share material with the students. Please have a look here:

{% content-ref url="../tools-and-platforms/google-classroom" %}
[google-classroom](../tools-and-platforms/google-classroom)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### How do I create more engagement in class?

{% content-ref url="../class-engagement" %}
[class-engagement](../class-engagement)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### How to teach? Best Practices!

We share several best practices. For example, the concept of "How little is enough?" or the "I Do, We Do, You Do" methodology. In the end, it is your decision how you want to teach it. We recommend to browse through the concepts before teaching a session:  [course-content](../course-content "mention")
