Course Catalog 2014-2015
KIE-33006 Written Communication in English, 3 cr |
Additional information
Learning will take place online. There are no class sessions on this course and no exam.
Students need to have access to email and internet throughout the term.
When a course is over-subscribed, i.e. there are more sign-ups than places on the course, then we enrol the required number of students according to the sign-up time and target group.
It is extremely important that students notify the responsible teacher concerned if they decide to drop-out after the sign-up deadline.
Prior to the course starting, students will be asked to confirm their attendance via a message from the course leader. If students fail to confirm their intention to complete the course, we will assume that they are no longer interested and remove the sign-up from Rock.
The old English Language Exam KIE-3210 corresponds to this course in terms of its key content, and is accepted as equivalent to KIE-33006.
The course is only intended for degree students
