Forms of instruction and work
The following forms of instruction and work may be applied in the course: Lectures, class teaching, group work, presentations, discussions, exercises, peer and teacher feedback, problem-based learning.
The course consists of 4x3 mandatory hours of teaching per semester as well as associated tasks and exercises.
Teaching is organised in such a way as to support the humanities model for active learning and activating teaching, cf. section Didactic, pedagogical basis and contact to research environment in the curriculum. The teacher will inform students about how study activities are organised on commencement of teaching.
The activities in the course are primarily aimed at achieving learning objectives and preparing students for the form of examination being a group-based project presentation accompanied with a subsequent short individual 10 minute oral examination but may also consist of written (programming, applying tools, etc.) activities.
The teaching of the course activates the student in the following teaching spaces/learning spaces:
- Teaching space where the university teacher has the responsibility for planning and is present
- Study space where the university teacher has the responsibility for planning but is not present
- Teaching space where the university teacher is present but the students have the responsibility for planning specific sub-activities
- Study space where the students have the responsibility for planning, and the university teacher is not present
