Teaching methods

In this course, AI can be used to brainstorm and create drafts. Additionally, AI can be utilized for structuring text and checking language, but it is not allowed to replace the actual thought and writing work done by the student. The student must describe openly and transparently how and where they have used AI tools in their work. Course Feedback: Feedback on the implementation of the course is collected, which is an important part of the development work of teaching and activities. By providing feedback, you have the opportunity to influence the content of the courses and the development of teaching. Feedback helps the teacher to develop their own implementations and teaching methods in other courses as well. Providing constructive feedback also develops your own work-life skills. Course feedback is given anonymously, and the feedback provider cannot be identified.
