5 pieces of advise

• Remember to fill in all information when you set up the course
• Please do not change the pre-filled name of the Reading List
• Some e-books are not available from the library in a form that is suitable for full courses. Check the e-book that you have chosen
• Remember to check that self-uploaded texts comply with copyright regulations. Note the information in the upload area. It is always the instructors own responsibility that course readings comply with copyright rules.
• Communicate with your students by using tags and "Public notes". Click "Edit" at the end of each citation and add information
