After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• understands the basic problems relating to carrying out a research project, including professional and research ethics, methods of cooperation, hypothesis formulation and experiments
• has a basic understanding of financing, reporting and the organisational structure of a research project
• understands the possibilities and challenges related to the generalisation of research results

Skills

The student is capable of:

• applying scientific methods, including basic qualitative and/or quantitative methodologies
• searching for, applying and referring to relevant scientific literature
• critically reflecting on the connections between research questions, research design and choice of method

General competence

The student is capable of:

• defining a research issue, research question and relevant methodology
• completing a scientific experiment through e.g. user testing, experiments, questionnaire surveys or prototype implementation
• assessing the quality of the different aspects of a scientific study

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• 3 assignments

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav og deltakelse i bestemte faglige aktiviteter. Nærmere informasjon om arbeidskrav og krav til deltakelse er beskrevet i den innledende delen av fagplanen. Studenten kan i dette emnet omarbeide/gjøre arbeidskravet inntil tre ganger.

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent før eksamen i emnet kan avlegges:

Felles i temaene Fysikk 1-2, Kjemi 1-2, Jorda 1 og Kroppen 1-2:

• Individuell praktisk prøve i laboratorieteknikker og praktisk arbeid (30 minutter)

I temaet Jorda 1-2:

• Individuell test i arter og objekter (20 minutter)

I temaet Naturfagdidaktikk 1-2:

• Lage en “omvendt undervisning”-sekvens (Flipped classroom) fra valgfritt praktisk arbeid. Grupper på 2-3 studenter (omfang 3-5 minutters undervisningssekvens). Hver gruppe gir tilbakemelding til en annen tildelt gruppe.

Aktiviteter med obligatorisk deltakelse

Fordi erfaringsdeling og respons krever tilstedeværelse, er det knyttet 100 % deltakelse til aktiviteten som er nevnt nedenfor. Det er svært vanskelig å tilegne seg kunnskaper om feltarbeid i naturen på egen hånd. Derfor er denne delen av undervisningen obligatorisk. Dersom studenten har gyldig fravær fra feltkurset, vil det bli tilrettelagt for ny gjennomføring.

I temaet Jorda 1-2:

• Feltkurs med for- og etterarbeid i Oslo-området uten overnatting (omfang 3-4 dager)

Etter å ha gjennomført dette emnet har studenten følgende læringsutbytte, definert som kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse.

Kunnskap

Studenten kan:

• beskrive hva som gjør et program beregningskrevende eller minnekrevende.
• forklare hva generisk programmering er
• gjøre rede for hva designmønstre er og gi eksempler på slike

Ferdigheter

Studenten:

• anvender ressurseffektive programmeringsspråk og metoder i egne prosjekter
• kan lage egne ressurseffektive minnestrukturer
• bruker designmønstre, generisk programmering og andre abstraksjoner effektivt

Generell kompetanse

Studenten:

• har generell forståelse for utvikling av ressurseffektive programmer
• kjenner til teknikker for effektivisering av programmer på høyere og lavere abstraksjonsnivå

One examiner. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.

Exam form: Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:

• Three individual assignments. Students are encouraged to collaborate in teams, but the documented work need to be authored individually in reports comprising 1000-1600 words, 1600-3000 words, and 1000-2000 words, respectively.

One overall grade is awarded for the portfolio. All parts of the portfolio must be awarded a grade E or better for a student to successfully pass the course.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of resit and rescheduled exams, another exam form may also be used or a new assignment given with a new deadline. If oral exams are used, the result cannot be appealed.
