Teaching and study forms

The course is based on the principle of active exchange of knowledge between teachers from all subject fields and thus presupposes participation in all teaching sessions.

The course runs during ten weeks, equivalent to two weeks fulltime studies (rate of study 20%) with four teacher directed learning sessions. The sessions will take place both online, campus (ALC) and blended (subject to change due to prevailing circumstances with covid-19). During the course, the following study forms will be used:

• Webinars / workshops
• Group discussions
• Individual assignments

Assessment and grading

The grades used for the course are Pass (G) and Fail (U). In order to get the grade Pass (G), the participant should have gained a pass from all the assessed course components and he or she should have also attended at all teaching sessions.

The course assessment is continuous and consists of group discussions and individual assignments.
