Learning methods and activities
The course is seminar based and the teaching language is English. Handout research papers and/or reports will be utilized to cover the course topics. Each student (or a student group) will study the assigned papers/reports and prepare a presentation to the class. The quality of the seminar will count for 20% of the final grade. The seminars in the course will be given on campus, and are open for both categories of students (campus- and remote students) through a web conference-system. All students (campus and remote) are required to contribute to at least one seminar with a presentation. The oral examination at the end of the course (which will count for the rest 80% of the final grade) will be based on the contents of all the seminars.
Compulsory assignments
- Contribution to a seminar
Further on evaluation
The students will prepare a presentation on a chosen topic that they will present to the class for 45 minutes. Topics are chosen in collaboration with the lecturer. This counts 20% of the final grade. Oral examination at the end of the semester will count for 80% of the final grade. Re-sit examination: New oral examination in August
