Lehr- und Lernmethoden
The teaching philosophy behind this module is based on the evidence that different study goals will be achieved using different approaches. While theoretical concepts and mathematical equations require an in-depth explanation, which is provided during the lectures, the understanding of a model requires hands-on learning, which will be provided during exercises and homework. During the lectures, the student will understand the theory, which is behind the model they are going to use in the exercises and homework. In this way, at the end of the module, they will be able to create their own model for the solution of flow in unsaturated porous media.
