Students learn and deepen their problem-solving capabilities in small groups as well as their presentation skills during the presentation of their results to a general audience. Through self-study, the contents of the course are further explored by the students in order to improve their skills for literature review. Searching and analyzing academic literature is done in order to prepare for class and to put contents of the class in a general context. Students work on an essay topic in a group and present their group-work findings for a wider discussion.
