BAL2000 Styring og samfunn Emneplan

Emnet fokuserer på grensen mellom offentlig og privat sektor, herunder markedet, sivilsamfunnet og frivillige organisasjoner. Det stilles spørsmål ved om grensen eksisterer og hvor den eventuelt går. Utgangspunktet er videre at stat og kommune er avhengig av samvirke med private aktører for å realisere offentlig politikk. Sentrale problemstillinger knyttet til samhandling med frivillig sektor, offentlig-privat samarbeid, borger- og brukerdeltakelse og samarbeid mellom offentlige instanser innenfor og på tvers av forvaltningsnivåer vil bli belyst. Det legges vekt på at studentene skal utvikle bevissthet om interorganisatoriske styringsrelasjoner.

Emner fokuserer også på hvordan norsk samfunnsstyring skiller seg fra måten samfunnet styres på i andre deler av verden.

After completing this course, the student should have the following learning outcomes:

• format and write basic code
• explain how problem-solving principles are used in programming
• understand how to frame and elicit unstructured business and/or administration problems in order to solve them through programming,
• understand the steps required to make software more efficient

General competence

On successful completion of this course the student is:

• proficient in planning and implementing a project plan for software development for business and administration
• able to identify and remediate bugs

Ingen arbeidskrav.

Portfolio assessment, including an oral presentation, a project report and a code repository.

Each student group will submit a 2000 to 3000-word report and a code repository within a given deadline. In addition, each student group will be required to give an oral presentation of their project, including a question-and-answer session with the examiners. Each member of the group has to be present at the oral presentation in order to get a grade. Videos will not be accepted as a substitute to the oral presentation. Each group may consist of 2-5 candidates.

The project report, the code repository and the oral presentation are graded as a whole and given one grade. The result cannot be appealed.
