This course is largely conducted in Lule Saami, and the students must be able to understand and use Lule Saami. Some of the theoretical parts of the material will be presented and discussed in the form of lectures at course gatherings and via online lectures. That said, this is to a large extent a self-study course, and students are expected to do a good deal of independent work. Assignments and mandatory work are submitted via Canvas, which is the university's digital learning portal.
The study program is evaluated annually by the students through subject surveys. Evaluation is part of the university's quality assurance system.
