Instruction
Lectures, lessons, assignments, labs and project.
Assessment
Written test and assignments. The theory part consists of 7 credits and the practical part of 3 credits.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
