Very welcome to the course Existential Dimensions of Health, 15 cr!
The course is on advanced level. It is an internetbased distance course with 100 % study pace. The studies are based on individual responsibility, active search for knowledge, critical approach and reflection.
The lectures will be given via the distance tool Zoom. If you are not familiar with Zoom, more information can be found here https://www.hig.se/Ext/En/University-of-Gavle/Library/Learning-Center/Web-meetings-with-Zoom.html
A zoom link for our meetings will be presented on Canvas, our learning platform.
The course examinations are in form of written assignments as well as oral presentations. The course starts week 3 with a course introduction via Zoom.
Communication
We have no meetings on Campus but use the learning plattform Canvas for communication. That includes handing in assignments and assessments. On Canvas you will find important documents, like the curriculum, the course literature list and the study guidance which will guide you through the whole course. If you are not familiar with Canvas it is a good idea to look at the information you can find here https://www.hig.se/Ext/En/University-of-Gavle/Library/Learning-Center/Canvas.html
Once again, very welcome!
