Absence from the compulsory sessions or assessment seminar can be compensated through supplementary activity. |
Examination | The assessment consists of two different tasks: 1. Reflective statement based in experience, feedback and research/literature within communication and learning. 2. Oral presentation in a popular scientific context supported by PowerPoint or similar. 3. A final scientific infographic in digital form revised based upon feedback from peers. To pass the course the participant needs to show evidence that they reached the learning outcomes by fulfillment of the assessment criteria. |
Literature and other teaching material | Recommended readings for discussion will be shared during the course. |
