Instruction
The teaching consists of lectures and assessment components. The students' own learning activities are crucial during the course.
Assessment
The course has two assessment components:
- continuous oral and written assignments

For the grade Pass, Pass is required in all components. For the grade Pass with distinction, Pass with distinction is furthermore required in component 2.
