Additional information on mode of examination	Each student will design his/her own research project for the performance assessment. The aim will be to define a research question and justify this by a short literature overview. This will be followed by the description of the study design and the methods, which will need to include a dietary assessment part as well as at least two of the other methods introduced during the course. The dietary assessment tool will be designed and pre-tested in a small group of people. The project will be presented in the form of a protocol as well as a poster. All posters will be displayed in a poster exhibition at the end of the semester. In the early phase of the work, each student will peer review the project idea of another student and give feedback.
