All required reading will be available either on MyMoodle or from ebooks in the library.

LNU uses a course management tool called MyMoodle.  It opens about one week before the course starts and you will need a student account log-in to be able to access the course material there.

Note that you will have to register on the course in order to be able to follow it, and that students who are not participating actively in the course during the first two weeks will be deregistered. 

If you decide not to take the course, after registering on it, please contact our Ladok administrator (helena.ryden@lnu.se) so she can remove you from the lists. 

If you have any further questions before the course starts, please do not hesitate to contact us.
