A short quiz will be administered via the IS at the beginning of today's session. The quiz covers the topic of Germany and is based on our zoom sessions, the presentations used in the sessions and the reading material.
At 10:00 CET, a link to the quiz (ROPOT) will become available (it will disappear at 10:30). Once you've clicked on the link, you will have 25 minutes to complete the quiz.
We will resume our Zoom session at 10:30 (right after the quiz).
In this and the next two teachings, we will discuss Austria! Starting with an elaborate 'facts and figures' review of Austrian Federalism, Population (+ diversity), Religion, Neutrality, Economy and Culture.
