MAIN INFORMATIONS!
Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we have to hold online classes this semester.
Next Wednesday (September 9th), we will have a Teams meeting which starts at 10 am and lasts until 5 pm. We will have a smaller break around 12:00 and a lunch break between 2 pm and 3 pm. There will be classwork (online search), so please have a laptop available.
However, we consider it important to have a personal meeting and get to know the planning location (Komárom town). That’s why we’re going on a bus trip next week (September 16th). Please set aside the entire day for the program.
