In other words in every module research methods are the vehicle through which understanding of occupational therapy is deepened. The figure below illustrates the design of the course. Another aspect of the design is that each module integrates theory, practice, skills and values. In addition several subjects are integrated in modules. For example, research methods, occupational therapy theory and models, quality assurance, intercultural aspects, aspects of social legislation and occupational science etc.
Assessments are also an important aspect of course design.
These are used to promote rather than merely test students' learning. Assessments are fully integrated into modules. Pre-course work, course work and independent study at home results in two assignments for each module.
