Introduction
Normally taught in English. Taught in Norwegian if no English-speaking students are taking the course.
In this course, you will plan and carry out a small-scale research project under supervision. The objective is to get a sense of what it is like to conduct research in the field of nursing. You will carry out the project in groups of students under the supervision of the lecturer with a view to understand and apply research. The group itself will choose the problem area and data collection and analysis methods to be used. The results will be published in a project report.
Recommended preliminary courses
All handwritten and printed support material is allowed.
Required preliminary courses
Admission to the programme.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the students will have gained an understanding of the electrical properties of linear circuits and how basic circuits can be designed based on specifications. The course also gives a basic introduction to electromagnetics and confers 3 credits in physics.
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, seminars, self-study and group work.
The first week comprises lectures about research and research methods, and students will also be divided into groups, choose their topic and plan the project. The second week comprises supervised group work with data collection and analysis. In the third week, students will write their project report, and present and discuss the results.
Course requirements
No requirements over and above the admission requirements.
