Teaching methods
"During the study unit, you will make a career plan either as an employee or an entrepreneur and polish your job search skills as well as analyse your own networks. The study unit is based on guidance, and includes a discussion on the personal study plan with the tutor teacher in both semesters. The purpose of the guidance is to make you think about different options, not to give complete solutions. As a student receiving guidance you are responsible for your own decisions and the direction of your career. The discussions on the study plan are conducted either in person or in goal-oriented small groups. During the study unit, the tutor teacher will also give guidance on practices related to studying.
Optima and Facebook will be used for communication during the study unit. In personal matters, you can contact the lecturer by email or phone or arrange to meet him or her.
