The course is no longer taught for campus students. The subject is taught Autumn 2019 only for web students.

Admission of most topics is made available from the learning platform.

Guidance is conducted asynchronously using forums.

There will be two collections each over three days. The collections are conducted in weeks 36 and 42. Accurate dates are given in the learning platform at the start of the semester.

There will be five work requirements in the subject. Three of the work requirements are delivered as group projects. These three work requirements must be conducted with guidance on campus Gjøvik in connection with the two collections. The last two work requirements are delivered individually and do not require attendance at the campus Gjøvik.

Work requirements that are acknowledged will, upon application to the subject officer, be given one postponed submission deadline. All assignments must be approved before the student can take the exam.
