Innledning

The course uses 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 teaching on campus. There will be four weeks with teaching on campus, with three teaching day each week. Students will also have a one-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 the topic of their written assignment in the beginning of the course, and work with this in groups or indivudually. The assignment is presented to the other students as an oral presentation.

The students are also given access to a pool of revision questions they can use in order to practice different course topics which can be used as revision questions for the oral examination.
