Course content

Teaching and working methods

The course working methods are independent work with individual supervision of the essay team and/or group supervision of the essay team and seminars. The essay is normally written in teams of two. In exceptional cases, after exemption from the course coordinator, the work is carried out by one individual. 

Examination

The course is examined through active participation in seminars, and through presentation and defence of an essay, and a critical review of another essay. Detailed information can be found in the course study guide. 

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.

Grades

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus. 

The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
