Course history

Introduction

The course focuses on a broad and rigorous approach necessary to do reliable research within the area of analysis and offers a deeper theoretical understanding that can supplement and be leveraged alongside the knowledge and skills from the previous two specialization courses.

The course provides a perfect basis for any person who wants to venture into this area. It is also a springboard for functional analysis and operator algebras.

Required preliminary courses

I INTER1100 «Den samme ungen – ulike arenaer» inngår to seminardager, digitale læringsressurser og samtale- og observasjonsoppgaver knyttet til tverrprofesjonelt gruppearbeid og selvstudier.

Universitetets læringsplattform brukes for kommunikasjon, informasjon, kunnskapsinnhenting og kunnskapsutvikling. Studentene får tilgang til faglige tekster og/eller interaktive oppgaver, informasjon, pensum og caser på læringsplattformen.

Studentene forventes å sette seg inn i ressursportalen for INTER1100 i forkant av de to seminardagene.

Studentene skal samtale, reflektere og diskutere utvalgte case i grupper på tvers av ulike utdanninger.

Gruppene blir tildelt en veileder som enten er vitenskapelig ansatte, masterstudenter fra aktuelle fagmiljøer ved universitetet, eller profesjonsutøvere fra praksisfeltet.
