Welcome to this padlet, students of group 1!

In this padlet you can add all your answers and comments to the lecture and study questions to help each other out and create a summary of the whole course together as a group.

Amongst everyone who wants to join, we will divide the workload. The people responsible for that week (maybe smart for presenters to do it?), have to provide the answers to the study questions before the start of the tutorial.

Take the questions seriously so you benefit from this project as a group, but you can show some creativity with memes, GIFs or something alike. As long as it is relevant and respectful.

Best of luck!
