The course is an internet-based distance course with 100 % study-pace. The studies are based on individual responsibility, active search for knowledge, critical approach and reflection.
The course examinations are in form of written examinations, oral presentations and seminar examinations.
The lectures will be recorded and uploaded on Canvas.
The course starts week 45.
The lectures as well as the seminars will be given via the distance tool Zoom.
We have no meetings on Campus so we will use the learning platform Canvas for communication. That includes handing in assignments and assessments. On Canvas you will find important documents, like the curriculum and the course literature-list, and above all the study guidance which will guide you through the whole course.
The course literature list is partly in Swedish, and for you who are English-speaking the following books will be used:
