The course consists of a number of lectures as well as the student’s independent learning effort. The form and extent of the course is determined and described in connection with planning the semester. The lesson plans, literature etc. are created in connection with this. The course is conducted as a combination of single-disciplinary, problem-oriented and cross-disciplinary fields of study, and it is structured from a work and evaluation form which combines skills and reflection:

• Lectures
• Class work
• Project work
• Workshops
• Exercises (alone and in groups)
• Teacher feedback
• Reflection on content
• Portfolio work.
