Teaching and learning methods
Teaching is conducted in the form of lectures/seminars over approx. 12 weeks.
Teaching methods that facilitate student activity are used, for example, problem-based learning where students must find solutions together with one or more fellow students. If resources allow, seminars will be held in smaller groups - combined with teacher and / or fellow student feedback.
If less than 5 students sign up for the course, the teaching may be adjusted to the number of students enrolled. If so, students will be informed about the alternative teachings plan at the beginning of the semester and before the registration deadline 1 Feb/1 Sep.
There may also be some shared classes for students in the NORPART- masterĀ“s courses/program.
