NATA6120 Natural Sciences 1 for Lower Secondary School, Subject 2 Course description

The course will be based on two week-long gatherings at Oslo Metropolitan University, including lectures, discussions and group-work

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1:Present a text from the reading list in the course seminars devoted to presentations and discussions of course syllabus texts.
• Coursework 2: Partake and present in a group work an analysis of how sources are used in science journalism/communication texts.

The presentation of a text from the reading list is approximately 10 minutes in length.  The group presentation from each group is approximately 15 minutes in length.

The purpose of the course requirements is to help strengthen the students’ skills in critical analysis of science journalism and communication, and to help strengthen the students’ reflection on theoretical issues and/or practical challenges for science journalism /communication that are presented in texts from the reading list. 

Both presentations must be approved before the student can sit for the exam. If the course requirements are not approved, or in case of illness or other valid reasons for absence, the student may once and within a set deadline hand in an improved individual written version of work requirement 1 or work requirement 2. The written version of each requirement consists of approximately 600 words. If the student does not meet the set deadline(s), or if the course requirements are not approved, the student loses the possibility to hand in the paper/hold the presentation, and thereby loses to right to sit for the exam.

There are no mandatory activities in the course, with the exception of the coursework requirements.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.
