Independent Study Scandinavian Studies in Telemark 2 2621

Course Description

The student will define and develop topic of particular interest and produce a paper of approximately 4000-6000 words that should embody the result of a semester’s work (calculated in ECTS credits) in a specific academic area of the humanities and/or cultural studies. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged. The paper will demonstrate the student’s ability to investigate, collect, and evaluate material, finally drawing conclusions that are discussed in a sound and well-written argument. Advisories, readings, reviews and independent research characterize this phase of a student’s work.

Assessment Methods

Individual, written research paper which counts 100% of the final grade. Letter grade. Pass/fail by special application.

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