Ten lectures of two hours duration during half a year. The plan for these lectures is made at the introductory meeting. The students will plan and conduct two lectures including discussion and/or problem solving with guidance from their PhD supervisor. In each session a specific topic is taught to the rest of the group. The lecture will be evaluated by the group. In addition the students will apply the theories for relevant cases.

Each lecture will be of 2 hours duration. Each lecture is planned and carried out by a pair of the students. The aim is to teach one topic from the theory to the rest of the group by: Presentation of learning objectives, teaching of a specific topic, example(s)/assignment(s), summary, questions/discussion. The session will end by feedback to the lecturer on the form and content of the lecture from all the participants.
