Practical subject

Compulsory subject

All teaching takes place at the campus. The work is carried out as a whole class, in groups and individually.

The teaching is organised into regular weekly work sessions and extended work sessions in connection with presentations. Work outside the regular scheduled timetable may occasionally be necessary.

The primary learning method is inductive and problem-solving. All tasks begin with a challenge, a provocation, or basic material, and is the students' responsibility to find a coherence in the form of a scenic presentation based upon the agreed frameworks, limitations, and sources.

Nord University works continuously to improve the quality of its studies. In this work, we work closely with the students: in that the students participate in the evaluation of both the individual courses and the study as a whole. Evaluation in each course will take place by:

  1. At the start of a course: clarification of expectations between lecturer and students
  2. Continual evaluation throughout the semester
  3. Final evaluation

Comprehensive evaluation of the study takes place at regular meetings between representatives for the students and study leaders at Nord University. Students are also encouraged to participate in the central quality surveys.
