Teaching methods
The contents of the course is integrated through working methods that intend to train interaction, active knowledge acquisition, critical reflection and problem-solving based on a scientific approach. In the course, different student-centered working methods are used to stimulate actively knowledge acquisition and to optimise the possibilities to achieve the intended learning outcomes of the course. These activities include seminars, group assignment, moments of reflections, case studies and lecture. Meetings take place both physical and via IT-based learning management system.
Examination
The course is examined through individual written written assignments and oral presentation.
In accordance with evidence-based teaching and learning, formative examination during the course is used. To pass the course, it is required that the student should be able to demonstrate that the intended learning outcomes of the course have been achieved. Intended learning outcomes are assessed through written assignments (individually and in groups), compulsory days of interaction, seminar and work shops with presentation.
Compulsory attendance
To facilitate formative examination there are some parts that require active participation such as course introduction, final examination as well as the exercises and seminars that are evident from the timetable.
The course coordinator decides if, and how, absence from compulsory parts can be compensated. Study results cannot be reported until the student has participated in compulsory course elements or compensated for any absence in accordance with instructions from the course coordinator. Absence from a compulsory course element could mean that the student can not retake the element until the next time the course is offered.
According to KI's local guidelines, it is required that a student who is not passed after regular examination has a right to participate at further five examinations If the student has failed six examinations/tests, no additional examination is given. Each occasion the student participates in the same test counts as an examination. Submission of a blank exam paper is regarded as an examination. In case a student is registered for an examination but does not attend, this is not regarded as an examination.
Transitional provisions
If the course has ceased, changed considerably in content, or substantially changed its reading list, the student may take three additional tests (excluding regular test) on the earlier contents or the previous literature for up to one year after the course changes have been made.
Other directives
The course evaluation will be conducted according to the guidelines that have been established by the Board of Higher Education.
The course will not be credited in a degree together with another course the student has completed and passed which completely or partly corresponds to the contents of this course.
