How to write this page (not fixed)
This is just a suggestion / feel free to edit
- Write down not only the English name of the material but also in other languages especially Dutch: A lot of times I did not even know which word I should search for. It would be super helpful for international students if we put English / Dutch / Korean / French / Thai / Spanish / etc.
- maybe there might be a better way to organize this. By material maybe?
- if there are some small tips add them to the bottom. (ex. Beamer / WDKA Rental Shop: Make sure you check a) at least 1 month ahead Especially during the exam period, you might not find the beamer. b) check regularly Sometimes students cancel at the last minute, so even if you fail to reserve the material, keep checking!)
- attach small image maybe?
