The text is then presented to the course teacher for clearance. After receiving clearance, participants will read the text at home, writing a summary in English or Finnish. The summary is to be 2 to 3 pages long, not counting cover sheet, table of content, etc. Finally, both text and summary are handed in on paper.Students who are on an exchange or an internship in a German-speaking country, may complete this course, writing a 2-3 page summary of a text, which they are required to read for their studies / internship. In this case, the text does not have to be presented to the responsible teacher beforehand. Students may hand in a copy or print-out of the original text along with their summary after their return to the University of Lapland.
