Multimodal forms of expression are used. Students also collect material for module 3. They meet different groups of staff, for example, teaching teams, student welfare personnel and school management, and develop communicative skills and conflict solution on the basis of core values.

Module 3: Documentation, assessment and reading and writing problems II, 3 ECTS cr
The relation between theory and practice concerning documentation and the assessment of reading and writing skills are treated, along with how aesthetic learning processes and linguistic perspectives can deepen the assessment and documentation of pupils' learning.
