ABIO6100 Being Acute and/or Critically Ill Course description

Studiet baserer seg på lærerstyrte og studentaktive arbeidsmåter. Feltarbeidet i vårsemesteret står sentralt i studiet. I tillegg til forelesninger anvendes følgende arbeidsmåter: diskusjoner, gruppeaktiviteter, skriftlige oppgaver, veiledning og prosjektarbeid. Det forutsettes at studentene danner kollokviegrupper på eget initiativ.

Feltarbeid

En obligatorisk del av studiet er et prosessorientert prosjektarbeid der kjernen er et fem ukers feltopphold i et land i Sør/i Norge. Instituttet bestemmer sted for feltoppholdet.

Avreise til feltarbeidet finner sted i medio februar. Arbeidet foregår normalt i grupper på fire-fem studenter. Instituttet setter sammen feltarbeidsgruppene. Tema for feltarbeidet velges etter samråd med faglærere og innleveres til godkjenning innen gitt frist. Materialet og erfaringene fra feltarbeidet skal analyseres og presenteres i en feltoppgave som skal innleveres digitalt. Feltoppgaven skal være på 50-70 sider, og nærmere opplysninger om innhold og format gis i eget veiledningshefte. Av hensyn til våre samarbeidspartnere i Sør skal feltoppgaven også inneholde en to-tre siders oppsummering på engelsk/spansk.

Gjeldende frister vil framgå av undervisningsplanen som vil foreligge ved studiestart.Alle studenter som skal på feltarbeid i utlandet er forpliktet til å ha egen reiseforsikring.

Dette er beskrevet i hver enkelt emneplan.

All answer papers are assessed by two examiners, one of whom must be external.

On a given occasion, research projects will announce places for scientific assistants at the master's program. The student contacts the project manager and submits a request for a place on the research project. The research leader decides whether there is room for the student and reports this.

An agreement is made about the content of the scientific assistance work, which in scope will correspond to 6 weeks of full-time studies. The project leader supervises the student in accordance with the agreement before and after the work. The work must end in a professionally relevant production.
