Materials are in Itslearning.

Teaching methods

The course consists of lectures and home work.

Exam schedules

To be announced when course starts

Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

Technologies will be studied during lectures, by individual learning and by calculating basic practical examples. The implementations is about to be tranferred into a web-based course. This means that part of the course can be based on individual
