Instruction

The course is given in the form of lectures, practical exercises, seminars, field studies and group assignments.

The contents of lectures can constitute basis for examination also in those cases in which attendance is not compulsory.

Assessment

Passing the course requires:

Passed written reports (examine outcome 2, 3, 4, 5, 7)

Passed written examinations (examine outcome 4)

Active participation in seminars (examine outcome 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

Students who have failed the examination have the right to undergo renewed examination further 4 times (=totalt 5 the examination occasions). If special circumstances apply, the programme committee can admit additional examination. Each time the student participates in an examination is counted as one examination attempt. Submission of a so-called blank exam is counted as an examination attempt. The student has right to request a change of examiner after two failed examinations.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the University's disability coordinator.
