Buon Agosto a tutti - e spero di non disturbarvi troppo; inoltro un invito a partecipare ad un workshop che secondo me e' una interessante ed utile per chi vuole testare un po' delle proprie conoscenze acquisite finora, e/o vuole fare un po' di pratica di inglese, e/o incontrare gente da varie parti del mondo.

Come vedrete dai dettagli sotto, e' un evento organizzato a meta' Agosto per problemi di compatibilita' dei periodi Norvegia Italia Australia...

Quindi, se volete partecipare mi fa molto piacere, ovviamente non sentitevi obbligati! (ma vedetela come occasione per imparare smile) Dettagli sotto!

(ps nel caso per registrarvi mandate una email a damiano.varagnolo@unipd.it)

TL;DR:
We're inviting motivated students like you to join a free, online, international workshop—Cross Campus Peer Instructions—held together by Monash University (Australia), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway), and University of Padova (Italy). You'll work with students from around the world to tackle quizzes on core engineering topics you should already know, making this the perfect warm-up for your upcoming semester.

-----------------

Why participating?
Starting your MSc studies strong means having a solid grasp of the fundamentals. This workshop helps you refresh key concepts from linear algebra, signals, circuits, and control—so you don’t fall into the same traps that many students do. It's also a great chance to practice your English, work in international teams, and meet future engineers like you!

How will this work?

  • 📅 Format: From August 18 to August 22, a 45 minutes online session per day (8.00 to 8:45 AM CET / 4:00 to 4:45 PM AEST)

  • 🧠 Format: Five short online sessions (45 minutes each)

  •   🌍 Teams: You’ll work in teams of three students—one from each university—with the option to call on instructors for help when needed  

  • 💬 Method: you will collaborate within your team and across teams in solving quizzes, explaining your thinking, and learning from each other

What will you learn (or re-learn)?

You'll revisit core ideas you've seen before, but from fresh angles. That means:

  • Recognizing and correcting common misconceptions

  • Reinforcing skills in problem solving and communication

  • Getting ahead on topics from your new semester

  • Gaining confidence and preparing in a collaborative, stress-free environment

Interested?
No grades, no fees - just the chance to get better, make friends, and prepare smartly. Sign-up &/or get more details by replying to this email! (And of course you may also just ask questions, if you wish for some clarifications)
