PSYK2400 Research Methods 2 - N=1-designs, Evaluation, and Documentation Course description

Per Ola Rønning

The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.

The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJTF2311 and KJTF2310.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.

Work and teaching methods used in the course are lectures, self-study, supervised written assignments, workshops, and practical exercises. On the basis of the information given from a case, the students, working in groups, will develop treatment goals on different levels, justify the treatment goals, and present them to the class. In addition, the students will individually develop a research question for a scientific study, plan and conduct the study and write a method and result section.

To prepare for the examination must the following obtain approved:

• Minimum 80 % participation at compulsory teaching activities, group work and workshops
• Individual presentations of the design for an experimental study to the group
• Presentation of treatment goals with their justification to the class

Individual written home examination over four days, maximum 3,500 words.

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