The lecture is part of module B of the bachelor's program in psychology. The successful completion of the lecture is one of the prerequisites to be admitted to the final examination of the module.
Please note that it is currently unclear whether the lecture will be held as a face-to-face event or online in the winter semester 2021/2022. Changes in the format may occur and will be communicated at short notice. It is therefore recommended to regularly check the information provided by Johannes Gutenberg University.
If the course has to be realized as an online-lecture, it will be held asychnorous. In this case, the individual sessions will be provided via Moodle for each week and can be completed at your own pace during the week.
