We have created an online learning course on study organization (learning bar) for you, which contains information, video presentations and links to the most important topics. The learning bar is an interactive online course that aims to provide you with all the important information for your studies in a clear way. The learning bar will remain permanently available online and will also accompany you during your studies. Take at least one day (better two days) for the learning bar. Please note that the learning bar is in German language.

So for students of the M.A. Comparative Democracy only the following video is relevant.

You find the complete learning bar in German here.
