Speed grouping
This is a building block for several courses.
The idea is to bring people together. The experience from the summer term 2020 shows that mere online teaching lacks certain elements that are vital for learning and studying at a university. This element tries to counteract the seperation induced by following courses only online and only rarely meeting fellow students.
We want that you work together.
This includes living together, having fun together, for students from abroad: getting known to the countries pecularities.
The point is that you do not meet each other in online courses.
Being still restricted by the pandemic, we try to provide a bit of this here.

The format
You probably know what speed dating is. We adapt that idea in an online version.
- At first, you sign up. Just send a sign up email. In response, you will obtain an invitation to the online room.
- During the event we will bring varying small groups together and ask you to learn to know each other and to solve a few fun tasks in these breakout groups.
- After the event, you have one hour to select (in private) five fellows that shall be given your email address. Should you not choose within the deadline a random choice will be used instead.The selection will be restricted such that each participant can receive at most six offers.
For persons that do not complete this step a random choice will be added. Additionally, a random choice will be added with the aim to ensure that each participant gets at least three offers. - Finally, you receive an email with the contact emails of those that have chosen you as a possible group member.
- Now it is up to you. We suggest that you answer to at least three others and start forming groups.
