Learning outcome

Through continuous evaluation of one’s own work, and the term paper the students must prove their ability to use the theoretical knowledge acquired in the courses offered in the two first semesters of the Master’s Degree. First and foremost, the course offers the possibility of “learning by doing”. The students will also acquire new knowledge through reflexive assessment of their own work. The students should reflect on how the disciplines, theory, and methods are relevant for the tasks they carry out, and what they observe in the working place.
