Undervisnings- och arbetsformer

The educational method used is problem-based learning (PBL). PBL emphasises the student’s development of free, self-supporting, lifelong learning ability as an instrument for critical inquiry. The students own queries and the problems formulated form the basis of PBL. What is also important is the student’s ability to take responsibility for his/her own learning, and to seek and evaluate information and knowledge as well as to develop co-operative skills and a flexible attitude to different views and ideas.
The educational methods include lectures, working teams, and seminars, and web based education.

Examination

The course is examined by a written individual examination. Compulsory items include active participation in working teams and seminars, and completed assignments.
Re-examination for a student who has failed to pass an examination may take place on a scheduled re-examination date, which is notified at the beginning of the semester, or at the next available regular examination date.
After failing two examinations students are entitled to support and study guidance from the educational staff.
Students who have failed the course or part of the course twice are entitled to request another examiner for the following examination occasion.

Extent of re-examination
The extent of a re-examination shall be similar to the regular examination

Entries for examinations
