Emnehistorikk

Innledning

Eksamen består av en individuell skriftlig semesteroppgave, i form av en fagartikkel, på 4500 ord +/- 10 %. Studentene formulerer selv en problemstilling og belyser denne gjennom relevant pensum og annen faglitteratur.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen. Ved ikke bestått eksamen kan fagartikkelen omarbeides.

Forkunnskapskrav

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt.

Læringsutbytte

Det benyttes en gradert karakterskala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått eksamen.

Arbeids- og undervisningsformer

Eksamen vurderes av to interne sensorer. En tilsynssensor er tilknyttet emnet, i henhold til retningslinjer for oppnevning og bruk av sensorer.

Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter

Students must submit four essays on the philosophy of social science (500 words), a tentative and a full templated master thesis design proposal. Students are required to present and discuss the design proposal in the master thesis preparation seminar.

The four essays, the tentative and full master thesis design proposal and the presentation of the master thesis design proposal are separately awarded a Pass or Fail. A Pass in all of them qualifies for sitting the school exam.

Students whose coursework requirement is not approved at first attempt may resubmit the work requirement once. Papers that are not approved after two submissions will disqualify students from sitting the final school examination.

Vurdering og eksamen

The assessment consists of a four hour school exam.

Hjelpemidler ved eksamen

Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary during the written school exam.

Vurderingsuttrykk

Students are awarded grades on a descending scale from A to E for pass and F for fail.

Sensorordning

The school exam is assessed by an internal and an external examiner. External examiners assess a random sample consisting of at least 25 per cent of the exams. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for the internal examiner's assessment. The external examiner will also assess individual exams where there is doubt about giving a grade of pass.
