TEACHING

The course comprises a combination of physical meetings and distance studies, which implies varied meeting and instruction forms. This means that: - The physical meetings are mainly in the form of seminars that span more than one day, - The participants are given the opportunity to participate in virtual meetings continuously during the course via electronic conferences, - The group's importance for the learning is utilised. In small groups, the students process and apply the contents of the course. The thesis supervision is both individual and in groups. - The students' own research issues are used as the basis for the research-oriented and scientific theoretical parts, and the processing of their own problems is integrated with studies of methodological approaches. - The documentation is continuous. The student's writing process continues throughout the course. Within the smaller group, the students read and comment on one another's texts.

EXAMINATION
