Cases describing health informatics scenarios are presented in writing. These are analysed in a case essay. The students also prepare to be able to account for the analysis orally.
All case studies are treated in seminars.
Examination
The examination is performed through individual written analyses of the cases. These analyses are assessed with A-F.
The final grade is constituted by a weighted average of the assessments of the written analyses.
Compulsory participation
The seminars are compulsory. The course director assesses if and, in that case, how absence can be compensated. Before the student has participated in all compulsory parts or compensated absence in accordance with the course director's instructions, the student's results for the course will not be registered in LADOK.
