Teaching and learning methods

The course will use varied, student-active work methods. The course uses a blended learning approach that combines digital learning resources (e.g. videos, lectures and knowledge tests) and sessions on campus. There are planned three two-day teaching sessions on campus. Students will also have a three-day observation internship at a relevant workplace. Students must schedule this themselves based on a list of available institutions and organisations. ;The students will choose a topic from a selection of topics at the first session, and work with this independently or in groups until the final oral presentation, with assignment submissions throughout the course.

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the examination:

  • A reflection note of up to 1,000 words, or a video/audio file of up to five minutes from the three-day observation internship at a relevant workplace.;;
  • Three compulsory assignments (ideally in groups of two to three persons) in the form of the development of a nutrition intervention aimed at a chosen target group:
    • In the first assignment the students have to describe the aim and the background of the chosen nutrition intervention in the form of a written work of up to 1,000 words.
    • The second assignment is an oral presentation of the theoretical framework given during a teaching session.
    • The last assignment is a plan that includes monitoring and evaluation; presented as a blog post.
