Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

The course consists of contact lessons and self-study of app. 270 hours. The learning methods focus on students' self-directed team working skills. The students will practice meetings in simulations.

Students with extensive meeting experience can complete the course either wholly or in part by means of a demonstration and exam. The demonstration and exam will indicate the student’s competencies in the field and also his/her ability to reflect upon these competencies.

The student is to contact the lecturer during the first enrollment period in the lecturer’s consultation hours during which a plan for the alternative completion will be agreed upon with the teacher. At the first meeting, the student submits and presents his/her CV indicating his/her knowledge and competence in terms of the contents referred to in the learning objectives of the course.

The student will be responsible for adhering to the plan and reporting on its implementation. If the student fails to complete the course, any parts completed by means of demonstration cannot be transferred to the next course implementation. Any agreements made will similarly not be binding to the next teacher of the course.
