TEACHING

The course is offered as a distance course with recurring seminars on each country. During and between the seminars, the students work in small groups with analysis and written assignments, on the basis of independent literature studies and field studies with experience and analysis assignments. The seminar sessions consist of lectures, group work and independent reflection and, to the extent possible, popular cultural expressions with important inter-cultural contents are utilised. Strong emphasis is placed on comparative studies, through cooperation between students from different cultural environments. Each participant carries out an individual assignment that is documented, presented and discussed in the course.

EXAMINATION

The course is examined through written and oral presentations of the prescribed assignments, individually and in groups. Active participation in the seminars is required.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
