A written project assignment will be planned. The assignment should emphasise cultural, historical, social, pedagogical or physiological issues. The assignment will provide students with an understanding of the relationships between culture, society and the individual. Study methods may include qualitative or quantitative approaches, such as literature studies, participative observation, interviews and practical experiments etc.

Assessment Methods

The assessment is two-fold, but a grade will be given for the whole course. Research theory and methodology will be assessed through a graded 5-hour individual written examination, and counts for 1/3 of the final mark. The project will be assessed on the basis of a written project report that will be assigned a grade, and will count for 2/3 of the final mark. Participation in two seminars with project presentation is obligatory.

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
