Welcome to the course!

  • Welcome to the course!

    Welcome to the course!

    The course is organised totally online using Zoom and Ms Teams.

    Below you can find the preliminary schedule for the course with an overview of the themes covered, and all the learning tasks included in the course. 

    NOTE: the 1st reading task will be delivered already during the first session 28 Oct -> Prepare to read an article during 28-29 Oct so that you are able to teach it to others on Friday 30th Oct.

    Preliminary timetable 

    The course applies student-centered and outcomes-based teaching and learning = the tasks and assignments are planned to address the intended learning outcomes (ILO) of the course, and the assessment is based on how well you perform in these exercises, and how actively you attend the contact sessions. The contact sessions are not compulsory (except for 18th Nov concept map tutoring and final seminar 9 Dec), BUT due to reflective and participatory teaching methods, attendance is highly recommended (you will also earn points from attendance). 

    All the tasks and assignments need to be submitted to pass the course. Submission after due date decreases your grade. The evaluation criteria and grading of the course will be presented during the first contact session 28 Oct and the same information can be found afterwards in the session slides.
