Materials

The teacher's lecture material and assignments also use, for example, RT's instruction cards and other literature in the field.

Teaching methods

The course is conducted on the Moodle platform and is delivered in a face-to-face format.
Attendance is not mandatory, but highly recommended.
The teacher will send detailed instructions on how to complete the course to the OMA workspace and to the students' email about a week before the course starts.

Instructions for completing the course
The course consists of graded assignments. There is no exam in the course. All assignments are mandatory. Assignments must be completed in order and with an approved grade. The system will not allow the student to move on until the previous assignment has been returned.
The final grade for the course is formed as an average of the graded assignments. Follow the instructions given in the assignments, such as the minimum word count, use of sources and marking. Assignments cannot be
re-done/increased, but must be completed in a timely manner. It is advisable to
put the assignment due dates on a calendar, for example.

If you are late by the given due date, your grade will be reduced by one digit per day. For example: If the work is worth a grade of 4, but the assignment package is returned one day late, the assignment package will receive a grade of 3. If the assignment package is returned two days late, the assignment package will receive a grade of 2. The course lessons (face-to-face) will start with a lecture, after which you can do the assigned assignments. There is always the opportunity to ask questions and receive individual help from the teacher regarding the course topics (in this case, participation in face-to-face teaching is required).
