Two individual and two group-based requirements (can be adapted on justification to and special agreement with the lecturer). The coursework requirements concern both the student’s own tertiary vocational teaching practice and the learning community in the programme. The coursework requirements must be approved before the student can take the exam. Required coursework that is not approved can be reworked and submitted for re-assessment twice before the ordinary exam.
