The teaching consists of mini-lectures, dialogical seminars, panels and workshops.

A learning management system is used.

The course is examined by means of two individually created works that can be presented as videos or texts, the second of which will be presented and discussed at a seminar. An option to present and/or discuss the first will be available at a workshop.

The examination must allow for students to be assessed on an individual basis. Further information concerning assessment of specific intended learning outcomes and grading criteria is provided at the beginning of the course.

The final grade of the course is issued only when all elements of the examination have been passed.

Students are guaranteed a minimum of three attempts to pass an examination, including the regular attempt.

If a student has failed the same examination three times, the student can request that the next attempt be graded by a new examiner. The decision to accept or reject such a request is made by the director of Educate.
