The student assumes responsibility for what he/she needs to learn, by analysing and dealing with situations associated with professional practice both in theoretical and practical study. The student seeks knowledge, selects, applies and evaluates this, and his/her learning in relation to individual learning goals. The teaching aims to stimulate and support the student’s development of professional competence and self-governed learning.
Teaching in this course will be provided through lectures, laboratory work, field studies and seminars.
