VERB2200 Behavior Analysis - from Theory to Application Course description

Individual written bachelor's thesis in accordance with set criteria, up to 8,000 words

On reasoned application and following a special assessment, students can be allowed to write their bachelor’s thesis in pairs. The maximum length of the thesis is still 8,000 words even when two students write a thesis together. Each of the two students must enclose a description of his/her own contribution to the thesis. They are both responsible for the content of the thesis.

Resit exam: If the bachelor’s thesis is awarded the grade F (fail), the student will be given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.

All material allowed.

Grade scale A-F

If the bachelor’s thesis is awarded a fail grade, the student has the right to submit a reworked version twice. If the student wishes to improve a passed grade on the bachelor’s thesis, the thesis can be reworked once. Since the thesis is written based on a completed practical training, a new project description is not required for the 2nd and 3rd attempt. Up to 2 hours of supervision is given for grade F. No supervision is given for improving grades.

All answers are assessed by two examiners.

An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
