Mandatory for students in the Bachelor in Training, Health and Performance program.
Optional for exchange students at Nord University.
The course is open for application as a single-course student, subject to available spots.
The course is delivered as an online and campus-based combination.
The course is part of a blended learning program, meaning that theoretical and practical teaching will take place both online and during one on-campus session in the spring:
- Theoretical teaching includes digital modules in a learning path, consisting of pre-recorded video lectures, quizzes, assignments, and required readings. The online content will be available in a dedicated platform (Canvas) and can be completed independently—anytime and anywhere.
- On-campus gathering (1 week, Monday-Friday) will primarily focus on practical instruction and include relevant professional methods and hands-on activities. There will also be some practical assignments to be completed individually.
- Mandatory attendance: The on-campus week is compulsory because a significant portion of the learning outcomes requires practical teaching, implementation, and group work/discussions. A prerequisite for participation in the on-campus session is the completion of the digital learning path in Canvas.
Composite Assessment - All components must be approved/passed in order to receive a grade in the course.
- Mandatory Attendance - To have attendance approved, the student must attend a minimum of 80% of the on-campus week. The student must also complete the digital learning path. Counts 0/100 of the final grade. Grading: Approved/Not Approved.
- Coursework Requirement - 1 individual written assignment. Grading: Approved/Not Approved. Counts 0/100 of the final grade.
- Oral Exam - Individual at campus. The duration is until 30 minutes. Counts 100/100 of the final grade. Grading scale: A-E (A = best), F = Fail.
