Teaching and working methods
The course can, as a suggestion, consists of two days of lectures and hands-on sessions. In the hands-on sessions the participants will work on exercises using their own laptops. Teachers will be present in each hands-on session to help out with exercises and discuss problems and questions. Each day ends with a discussion session where general questions and thoughts can be discussed, and feedback can be given to the teachers. Teaching language is English, but questions and discussions can also be done in Swedish. The course is designed for on-site teaching but it can also be done as an online course.
A tailored education can be conducted at LiU's premises, at your organization, or online. You can also choose whether the course should include examination with attainment of university credits.
