Teaching methods

The pedagogical method of the course uses (where applicable) reverse teaching. Reverse teaching (or flipped classroom) is a form of multidisciplinary teaching that uses online teaching materials to allow more time for teacher-student interaction in the actual lesson.
Most commonly, this is done by giving students a pre-assignment to watch online videos (etc.) and do assignments based on them.

The goal of reverse instruction is to get students to get to know a new subject first independently, after which the subject is continued together in a lesson. Reverse teaching thus emphasizes 1) the student’s own activity in learning, 2) the interaction between students, and 3) the use of technology and Internet resources in teaching.

Employer connections

May include working life collaboration.

Exam schedules

Moodle exam at the end of the course. Possibility of re-tryout of the exam within approximately two weeks of the end of the course. Subsequent renewal and tryout opportunities will be agreed with the teacher in charge on a case-by-case basis.
Exam evaluation 0-5 (less than 50% = 0, less than 60% = 1, less than 70% = 2, less than 80% = 3, less than 90% = 4, 90-100% = 5).

Teaching methods

The pedagogical method of the course is lecture and contact teaching, multidisciplinary teaching, self-study and (where applicable) reverse teaching. Reverse teaching (or flipped classroom) is a form of multidisciplinary teaching that uses online teaching materials to allow more time for teacher-student interaction in the actual lesson.
Most commonly, this is done by giving students a pre-assignment to watch online videos (etc.) and do assignments based on them. In this course, students do a lot of small group work on their own. The contact teaching days will be implemented according to a separate program.

The goal of reverse instruction is to get students to get to know a new subject first independently, after which the subject is continued together in a lesson. Reverse teaching thus emphasizes 1) the student’s own activity in learning, 2) the interaction between students, and 3) the use of technology and Internet resources in teaching.
