Teaching methods
The course consists of online teaching and individual supervision. The online part of the course is done through the digital platform Canvas. The knowledge acquired online is followed up through individual supervision where the student connects the former to her/his project description and the relevant formats, methods and traditions affiliated with it. Supervision can be done on campus, online or as a combination of the two working- and teaching methods.
Throughout the course, the students will also participate in master classes and seminars with internal and external pedagogues, scholars, and performers. The students can also participate actively in one of the faculty’s research groups.
The expected workload for students is 27 hours per credit.
