Changes planned for the next course offering
During the years this course have been given the format has constantly beeb adjusted to meet the experiences of the students as well as the course responsible. Learning activities have been added or replaced to better support the student's knowledge development.
Since 2024 some changes were made in the course design:
- only one lecture was mandatory
- "paper sessions" (a format with four non-mandatory 45-minutes sessions with bonus points given since 2019) was replaced by a mandatory 3-hour workshop.
- shorter time and less questions on the written exam
This worked out well.
Some more changes are planned for the next course offering. As the learning activity "research project presentation" is much appreciated by both students and course responsible the possibility of using this format two times (instead of one) during the course will be looked in to, In case of making this change one of the seminars will be removed. This change is however related to what can be made possible in relation to other courses scheduled.
