The purpose of the guidance during the study unit is to support students in finding different options for their study path and professional development, not to give complete solutions.
Discussions on the study plan are conducted either in person or in goal-oriented small groups. During the study unit, the tutor teachers will also give guidance on practices related to studying.
NB! In case of corona restrictions, the course takes place online, using Canvas and other digital solutions.
