Forkunnskapskrav

The course will use varied, student-active work methods. The teaching will be digital, including blended learning.

Work and teaching methods include digital lectures, digital group assignments, in-depth and reflection assignments at seminars on relevant topics, and self-study. The students will give oral presentations at the seminars, and receive oral feedback from fellow students on their group work and oral feedback from the lecturer.

The lectures on campus are given in Norwegian, for English-speaking students digital lectures are published in English. In group work, mutual assessment, etc., the students will be divided into groups according to language. Most of the syllabus is in English, but there are good alternative syllabus books in Norwegian.

Læringsutbytte

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the examination:

  • Read a qualitative and a quantitative research article. Use the relevant CASP checklist to critically assess each article. Include in the appraisal summary of the check lists the key points that need to be considered when assessing the validity and usefulness of the results (200-300 words per article).
  • Assess the critical assessments of a fellow student (peer assessment) (in total, 200-300 words).
