Objectives
The course intends to provide knowledge of how one plans and carries out a scientific study and how one analyses, discusses and presents the results.
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
use earlier acquired knowledge independently to solve an assignment
identify and formulate an issue
on a scientific basis search, analyse and discuss relevant data in an issue
within given time frames present an issue and its solution partly written in a well-structured and interesting report, and partly orally in a well prepared seminar
Content
To satisfy the expected learning outcomes, the student in collaboration with supervisor should, identify a for the subject appropriate issue. The extent of the work should be at such a level that it can be completed within stated time. The student works independently with support of supervisor. Compulsory components that lectures, exercises, study visits, field studies and/or literature studies can occur depending on the nature of the chosen assignment. The student should present his work in a report that is graded regarding introduction to the issue problem formulation, method description, data processing, conclusions, use of literature, language and extent of irrelevant text. In addition to this the student should present his work at a seminar orally.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
