Participation and organization

It is compulsory to attend all course days in July and August. The courses consist of lectures, cluster discussions, group work, as well as exercises and self-study through Moodle, RUC's digital learning platform.

Please note that the workload during the period of the courses corresponds to a full-time load.

Self-study via Moodle

By self-study, we mean that you have to read texts for each topic of the course as preparation for class participation. You must read between 60-80 pages for each topic. In addition, you must complete the exercises in Moodle. The exercises deal with the topics of the course, as well as the obligatory texts. You must have completed and uploaded all exercises to Moodle during the period of self-study in order to access the remainder of the course.

Final exam

After you have completed the course days in August, you are required to participate in a group exam for each course.

It is an oral exam with an external examiner and is based on both the individual exercises that are solved throughout the self-study period, as well as a joint piece of work that is prepared in groups during the course days. A more detailed explanation will be given at the beginning of the course.

Course literature

The course literature will consist of a textbook, articles and excerpts from books. 真人线上娱乐 recommend that you buy the books for the course in advance. Information about course literature and books to buy can be found on study.ruc.dk and Moodle (requires login).

Access to Moodle

You will have access to RUC's learning platform, Moodle, through a personal login. You will get more information about this in your admission letter. You will get access and an introduction to Moodle on the day the courses start. You must be able to access Moodle during the complete course period, and it is therefore important that you have access to an online computer during this period.
