About the course

Course content

Learning methods and activities

The students attend the lectures and seminars in NORD1108. The course is taught in Norwegian.

Lectures and seminars. The students may not expect that the entire curriculum will be covered in the lectures. Student activity is central to the instruction. Collaborating in discussion groups is a helpful supplement to the instruction and the individual studies, and the students are therefore encouraged to participate in the discussion groups arranged by the department, and to form their own groups.

Obligatory assignments:

  • Minimum 75 % participation in lectures
  • 2 approved written assignments

The absence limit is intended to cover normal sick leave and similar situations, and you will not be granted valid absence from teaching based on a medical certificate, even if the absence is due to circumstances beyond your control. In special cases, agreements for exemption can be made with the course coordinator, preferably at the start of the semester.

Language requirements: The student can choose to write the assignments and exam in NORX1108 in either bokmål or nynorsk.

Approved obligatory assignments are valid for 2 semesters (the semester in which the approval is given, plus the following semester).
