| TEACHING |
| The course is run in a problem-oriented way with lectures, seminars, group work and a study visit. English-speaking groups consisting of 6 - 8 students work together. In groups, students prepare themselves for the lectures and the seminars by formulating questions and sending these questions in advance to the lecturer. Individually they write a paper on one subject chosen among different texts for the literature seminar and a final paper about one relevant issue concerning the Swedish Society. The papers are presented and defended at an examination seminar. Every student is also an opponent on one paper. |
| EXAMINATION |
Basic knowledge and understanding of the Swedish society is examined by prepared written questions to lectures, prepared written questions for the seminars, active participation in discussions at the literature seminar and through an individually written paper. The ability to critically examine, communicate and summarise a basic knowledge of the Swedish society is examined by active participation at the literature seminar, by presenting and defending a paper at the final examination seminar and by being an opponent at another paper.
