Mobility From Different Cultural Perspectives

Students from UF and HWR Berlin will work together in groups to analyze the issues surrounding mobility.  A questionnaire will be used to collect the data.  The group discussions should lead to decisions as to which aspects, including culture-specific aspects, should be included in the data analysis.  Each student will create and record a two minute presentation of their analysis.

The aim of the course is to combine intercultural experience with the development of technical skills.
