- Namespaces
- Cloud deployment
- Configuration management

Recommended preliminary courses
The teaching is mainly designed with "flipped classroom" and learning activities in class and smaller groups. Digital learning resources such as digital lectures, videos and films will be available to the students in advance. Students are recommended to use these resources and to be prepared before the lectures and the seminars. The students are specially recommended to participate at the presentation seminar since this seminar offers a unique opportunity for learning.
Required preliminary courses
All examinations are assessed by an internal and an external examiner.
Learning outcomes
The 30 ECTs thesis will consist of a condensed research project where focus is on identifying and investigating a problem or challenge in the specialization area and to display good scientific craftsmanship in the pursuit of an answer. Throughout the semester, a thesis is written which will be submitted at the end for assessment.
In addition to the project work, there will be a series of online, asynchronous classes during which students will be provided with a range of analytical tools and methods to help develop their writing skills. Students will also receive formative feedback on draft versions of their texts from the course instructor and their peers, with a focus on the final thesis.
Content
None.
Teaching and learning methods
The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:
- A first draft of the Introduction and Background chapters of the thesis, including an asessment of any relevant potential ethical considerations
- a peer review of another students draft text
- A second draft of the masters thesis
- a Process Memo (reflection on the feedback received from the thesis supervisor(s)).
Course requirements
The thesis project consists of the following:
- A written Master thesis (Length: 15,000-30000 words, using one of the available document templates)
- Individual oral presentation (30 minutes)
- Submission of an artefact (either physical or digital) as part of the thesis is optional. Any artefact that has been developed by the student as part of the research project must be approved by the supervisor, the Master Thesis Coordinator must be informed, and the artefact must be made available in such a way to be inspected by the examiners. In the case of a physical artefact, video and images may be used to document its properties, eliminating the need for a physical inspection.
The master's thesis is assessed on the basis of the following criteria:
- the originality and / or relevance of the issues or research questions to the field of study
- clarity in the development of issues or research questions being addressed
- documentation and use of relevant theory and research, as well as systematic use of sources
- clarity in the relationship between issues / research questions being addressed, the method choices / methodologies employed and the resulting discussions / conclusions
- ability to collect, systematize, interpret / deconstruct and present knowledge in a clear way
- reflection on ethical issues in the research process
- written presentation (clear table of contents, accurate literature references, bibliography and appendices).
Theses are written in Norwegian or English. The oral exam can be taken in Norwegian or English, regardless of which language the thesis was written in.
The written thesis must be awarded a grade of A-E (preliminary grade) in order for a student to take the oral exam. The final grade is set after the oral exam. The grade can be adjusted up or down by one grade based on the oral exam. All exams must be passed in order to pass the course.
Students can appeal against the grade set for the written part of the exam. If the grade is changed after an appeal against the grade, and the oral exam has already been held, the oral exam must be retaken.
New/postponed exam
In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for applying for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

Grading scale
The language is normally English.
This joint course is developed for all the Bachelor programmes at the Faculty of Health Sciences which are part of RETHOS (National guidelines for the Health and Social Studies), and is considered as an introductory course, preferably taken during the first part of the study programme.
In this course, starting with relatable examples, students will learn about asking critical questions about health claims and the sources of claims. This is followed up by focusing on the rationale for evidence-based practice (EBP) and its Core Competencies: Ask, Acquire, Appraise and Interpret, Apply, and Evaluate, and shared decision-making. The course provides a foundation for learning and applying more advanced and field-specific skills.
