Learning methods and activities

The course uses team-based learning. Throughout the semester, students receive feedback on how well they are prepared through multiple-choice tests (RATs, English: Readiness Assurance Tests), which are conducted during lecture time. Each test introduces students to new concepts. Lecture time is then used to delve deeper into the concepts, through lectures and exercises and activities in the classroom, both individually, in teams, and in plenary. Laboratory activities give students the opportunity to apply knowledge and gain practical experience.

Compulsory assignments

  • Submission of the mutiple-choice tests (RATs)
  • Attendance to the lab sessions

Further on evaluation

The compulsory activities must be approved to qualify for the final exam.

The exam is given and must be answered in English only.

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral exam.
