Additional information
The communication & absence reporting for the course happens on Itslearning. The student is supposed to follow Itslearning and keep up to date on possible changes.
Note! The situation with Covid-19 might move the course online. In practice it means that the lectures are moved from campus to Zoom following the already existing schedule (bookings on ARBS) and absence reporting is done normally via Itslearning. The situation is followed up continuously and information about possible changes in the course are sent via e-mail or Itslearning.
