ØAMET4200 Research Methods for Social Sciences Course description

Assessment of Web Development will be by two submissions - an individual term paper (15,000-20,000 characters including spaces) and a group-based project (a practical work related to a set of web development tasks). The group must submit a report (18,000-25,000 characters including spaces) describing their work and documenting the outcomes. The topic of the project must be approved by the tutors. Font: Arial/ Calibri. Size: 12 point. Line spacing: 1.5.

The term paper accounts for 60% of the grade, while the remaining 40% comes from the group-based project. The student must pass both parts to pass the course.

Grade scale A-F

Anita E. Tobiassen

The examination is assessed by an internal and an external examiner. The external examiner grades a random sample consisting of approx. 25 per cent of the exams. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for internal examiners who will be grading the other exams.

Grade scale A-F

An internal and an external examiner will grade the project description and the written exam.  

A selection of at least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded to exam papers assessed by the external and internal examiner will be used to determine the level of all exam papers.
