New and postponed examination

If a paper is not graded with "pass", the student must submit a revised version within a given deadline.

The grades are "pass" or "fail". The requirement for "pass" is that the paper builds on insights from the first part of the course and outlines ideas on how an analysis and journal article can be planned on this basis. The paper must be graded «pass» in order for the student to pass the course.

The paper will be assessed by the course coordinator and a member of the academic staff involved in the PhD program.
