This course is taught using lectures, discussion, group work and work requirements made in preparation for class assignments. The last day of the course is dedicated to prepared presentations and discussion of the research projects of participants.

This course involves interdisciplinary discussion of subjects and active participation in class is a prerequisite to develop good understanding of the course content. Student attendance of at least 80 % is therefore mandatory to be eligible for examination. The course leader can exempt students from this requirement only under special and individual circumstances. In these cases, extensive reading of the course literature can compensate for the lack of attendance.

Participants who are absent from the requisite class attendance without a valid reason will lose the right of examination.

Mandatory assignments are evaluated as a pass or fail.

Participants will receive 5 ECTS for successful completion of the course. This includes the attendance requirement as well as passing the essay examination. The essay will discuss a key challenge in research ethics and ways to deal with it. Participants should explain why they think their chosen subject is especially important for their project or their type of research. The essay is to be about 4000 words and must be handed in before the submission deadline.

The essay will be examined by the course leader and is assessed as a pass or fail. If the essay is not passed, students are given another chance to edit their submission on a later agreed upon deadline.

The essay examination is based on the descriptions of the course’s learning outcomes.

It is not possible to request an extension of the submission deadline. Exceptions from this are only made in cases of documented sick leave. The deadline for submission will then be postponed based on the documented period of sick leave.
