Two internal. External examiner is used periodically.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:
Knowledge
The student can
- describe the specific area of specialisation
- explain approval procedures for research projects and relevant approval bodies for these
Skills
The student can
- protect privacy (according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)), including safeguarding consent to the collection of personal data and confidentiality
- cooperate and contribute in a research environment and describing the research group’s activities
- perform allocated work independently
- conduct different types of literature searches
- formulate a research question that can be investigated and written about in a bachelor's thesis
- plan, conduct and document a study, a project work, or a care or training measure
- collect and process data
- use the IMRAD model in reporting and referring according to the current APA standard
- act in accordance with relevant guidelines for ethics/ethical principles
General competence
The student can
- demonstrate research ethics and relevant criticism in accordance with academic standards

Teaching and learning methods
All exam papers are assessed by two examiners. A minimum of twenty per cent of the exam papers will be assessed by an external examiner. The external examiner's assessment shall benefit all the students.
Course requirements
SYBA2010 and SYBAS2010 overlap 100%.
Assessment
Individual bachelor’s thesis with a maximum scope of 8,000 words
On application, students may be permitted to write the thesis in pairs. This is on the condition that they have collected the data together and use these in the thesis.
If the bachelor’s thesis mentions information about people and/or their behavior, OsloMet and the Department for Behavioral Sciences' current rules for privacy and consent must be observed.
It is required that the thesis be written in whole or in part from a behavioral analytical perspective. For theses that are written based on a subject field other than behavior analysis, it is expected that the thesis contains an account of and discussion of behavior analysis in relation to the thesis' subject matter.
