MOK1801 Multimedia Production II Course description

The basis for assessment is an individual master’s thesis of 30,000 to 38,000 words (excluding the cover page, summary, table of contents, reference list and appendices), followed by an individual oral exam lasting 45 to 60 minutes. The oral exam consists of an examination/conversation about the master’s thesis and its strengths and weaknesses.

Written thesis are evaluated, followed by the oral exam. One final grade is awarded for the master’s thesis, based on these two components. The final grade is set after the oral exam.

If the written master’s thesis does not meet the specified formal requirements, the submission will be registered as ‘failed’. An oral exam will then not be held for the candidate.

Assessment criteria

The master’s thesis will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria:

• The clarity, relevance and/or originality of the research questions or issues in relation to international education and development
• Ability to think independently and critically
• Documentation and use of relevant theory and research, and systematic approach to use of sources
• Connections between the main issues, research questions, choice of method, discussions and conclusions
• Ability to collect, systematise, interpret and present knowledge in a logical and easy-to-follow manner in relation to selected theories and perspectives
• Reflection on ethical issues in the research process
• Written presentation, clear table of contents, accurate literature references, reference list and appendices

Examination Report

A structured, written, evaluation report from the examiners will be provided to all candidates after the completion of the oral exam component.

Resit/rescheduled exams

A student will not be allowed to submit a new master’s thesis in the same programme if a pass grade has already been awarded. If a fail grade is awarded for the master’s thesis, the student can submit a new or revised thesis once only (see the Regulations Relating to Studies and Examination at OsloMet. Resit/rescheduled exams are organised in the same way as ordinary exams.

Right of appeal

If a student appeals the grade, both components of the exam must be re-assessed together. A new oral exam will be held.

Support material is permitted for the written part.

Letter grades ranging from A to F are used, with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade, and F being a fail grade.

One internal and one external examiner are used.

The master’s thesis is an independent scholarly work where the student must demonstrate insight into relevant research and theories, methods and approaches of relevance to the thesis' focus and area of specialisation. The student is free to choose the topic, method and perspective.

Gradert skala A-F

Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern eller to eksterne sensorer på begge vurderingsdeler. Det benyttes to sensorer til sensurering av alle besvarelser. Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av ekstern sensor/eksterne sensorer. Karakterene på uttrekket skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.
