Course syllabus

Below schedule for the course

The teaching is workshop oriented and has in general the format of dialogue and seminars. The core of the course are guests talking about their practice and work. For the development of the course assignment we have tutorials, presentations and group discussion.

The course structure is based on distance learning with Zoom as the platform. This structure is to allow participation from outside Gothenburg and a combination with a work life. All guest’s will be on Zoom as well as tutorials and individual dialogue. Time is well allocated for developing individual work. The development of each individual project descriptions and ideas is through the practice of developing a project plan on individual basis in dialogue with the course leader, fellow students and guests. 

It is for the benefit of all important that everyone is well prepared when attending the course teaching moments. When the course is from 10:00 to 15:00 the morning session 10:00 -12:00 is usually for guests and afternoon session 13:00 - 15:00 is usually for discussions and work in progress presentations as well as possible improvised guests and talks. Individual tutorial can be booked throughout the course.
