  • The candidate can share his / her knowledge and experience with others, both in writing and orally
  • The candidate can organize, plan and carry out his / her learning and work tasks and cooperate well and reflected in groups

Learning methods and activities

Student-oriented learning methods.

  • Project-oriented teaching.
  • Resource lectures
  • Student presentations
  • Peer Review
  • Report writing
  • Group work

Mandatory activities:

Four submissions, of which at least one must be individual:

  • Academic text
  • Multiple choice test
  • Programming code
  • Oral presentation of project

Compulsory assignments

  • Academic text
  • Quizz
  • Python
  • Oral presentation

Further on evaluation

Final grade is based on two elements which both must be passed:

  • 1 project report based on group work.
  • 1 written 2 hours individual digital exam.

If fail on project report/group work, an improved project report can be submitted within September 1st. Re-sit of digital individual written exam in August. Resit exam can be implemented for some parts without all assessments need to be retaken. It is given the opportunity to complain about parts of this topic before all subtasks have been completed.
