Communication Strategy

Communication Strategy

Since there are many students taking this course, supervisors, readers and examinor, we all need to be able to communcate effectively.

Slack

Slack is the main means of communication in the course. Yes, you have to register with your student email.

Direct Messages

Personal questions regarding absence(sick leave etc.), registration, etc. SHOULD be sent through direct message to "@Daniel Toll" on Slack.

Course channel

#2dv50e

  • Questions regarding course issures SHOULD be asked in the #2dv50e channel in Slack. Formulate the question so that it can be answered without requiring mind-reading powers. Preferably all questions should be in the open channel, but not if they reveal the solution of an assignment or contains sensitive information.
  • I will post on Slack if something changes, like a cancelled scheduled session, or when assignments are released or changed.
  • Important information will be pinned to the channel and you are supposed to read all of them.
  • Before a lecture I will post on Slack a direct link to the lecture-stream (Zoom, Youtube or something else)
  • React to all pinned posts on Slack to show that you have read the information.
  • Interact with other students and teaching assistants on Slack: ask questions, be helpful, and answer questions asked by other students Always remember to be polite.

Communication with supervisors

We encourage all supervisors to create one or more study-groups for the students they supervise. Supervisors may want communication to happen in another way.

Administrative Slack

Supervisors, readers should follow updates on the administrative slack channel. (you should have been invited, if not ask Daniel)

Schedule

We will put deadlines as well as scheduled sessions in the timeedit schedule. Note that these may changed and we will post a notification in slack.
