Despite these hard times, physics must go on! The problem classes are an important part of your degree. They help you approach your final exams in a gradual and conscious way. That’s why we worked so hard to make sure you could access them online when the lockdown was declared over Easter. You’ll now join the sessions through Microsoft Teams in small groups of 30-40, with two to three demonstrators per group. You can ask questions publicly over video or in the chat, or request a private conversation if preferred. We’ve had lots of positive feedback about this setup, so we’re confident you’ll feel the same.
