Rules for Online Teaching

While LMU is closed, most teaching happens currently online. As teachers, we ask you to be forgiving if things should not work perfectly right away, and we hope for your constructive participation. In this situation, we would also like to explicitly point out some rules, which would be self-evident in real life:

• In live meetings, we ask you to responsibly deal with audio (off by default) and bandwidth (video as needed).
• Recording or redirecting streams by participants is not allowed.
• Distributing content (video, audio, images, PDFs, etc.) in other channels than those foreseen by the author is not allowed.

If you violate one of these rules, you can expect to be expelled from the respective course, and we reserve the right for further action. With all others, we are looking forward to the joint experiment of an "online semester".
