Notice

NOTICE:
The courses Media Marketing and Entertainment Media Marketing by Professor Hennig-Thurau will be taught in a hybrid format this semester. They will take place in room 006 at the Marketing Center building (Am Stadtgraben 13-15) and be streamed simultaneously via Zoom. In addition, we will make the audio recording and slides for the lectures available for every participating student.
Room 006, which is equipped with air filters, provides space for about 20 students who can attend the lecture in person. All other students can partake digitally via Zoom. The room contains technology which allows full interactions between everyone involved, namely the lecturer, the in-person attendants, and the “digital attendants”.
We will allocate these available seats randomly on a weekly basis among all students interested in attending the lecture in person. Please use the survey we have prepared in the Learnweb course page to indicate whether you want to attend the lecture in person next week. We will make sure that every student can attend the lecture the same number of times as any other student. In each week, we will inform participants who are interested in attending the course in person at least two days in advance whether they can do so.
