PSYK3910 Faglig fordypning og bacheloroppgave Emneplan

Bachelorstudiet i psykologi avsluttes med et selvstendig dokumentasjonsarbeid - en bacheloroppgave. Emnet PSYK3910 - Fagligfordypning og bacheloroppgave utgjør 30 sp (hele 6. semester). Her skal studenter delta i lærernes forskningsaktiviteter, hvor dette arbeidet tilsvarer PSYKPRA2 i omfang. I tillegg skal studenten skrive sin bacheloroppgave i tilknytning til denne forskningsaktiviteten. Bacheloroppgaven skal skrives i artikkelform i henhold til APA-standard.

The exam consist of two parts:

1. Group project report in the form of an academic paper, 2-5 students per group (8-10 pages), counting 50 %.The report must follow the guidelines and template of the IEEE conferanse proceedings template.
2. A final presentation that is divided in two parts:The project practical demonstration and individual presentation account for 50 % of the course, 1. where the group presentation is 30 % 2. the individual presentation is 20 %.

All parts are done with the same group (2-5 students per group).

All parts must be passed to pass the exam.

Part one can be appealed, part two cannot be appealed.

New/postponed exam:

In the event of a postponed examination in this course the exam may be held as an oral exam. Oral exams cannot be appealed.

All materials are permitted.

Graded scale A-F

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.
