Teaching methods

During the course, you are oriented to the content of your studies, the degree structure and plan the progress of your studies. You will also identify your strengths, development areas and your own way of studying. During the course, you will also go through the factors that affect your well-being during your studies.
The course consists of two sections:
The completion of the first part of the course (1 ECTS) begins with a pre-assignment that you will do when the studies begin. The part also includes three group meetings and at least two PSP discussions, which you will prepare yourself for using the instructions provided. During the first part, you will make your study plan, which you will update throughout your studies.
The second part of the course (1 ECTS) consists of an optional section that will be most useful to you in terms of the progress of your studies. Together with your teacher tutor, you plan what kinds of content and entities you should choose. These themes include study skills and methods, internationalism, well-being and coping, identifying employment opportunities in your field of study, and entrepreneurship.
More detailed instructions can be found in the Canvas workspace of the course.
