Learning outcomes

After the course the student shall

  • Know how to seek, gather, evaluate and critically examine relevant information for the problem given and be able to critically discuss the topics of the subject.
  • Show that they independently can identify, formulate and solve problems within a given time frame.
  • Show ability to (both written and orally) to describe the given problem, and know how exchange information and solutions with different groups.
  • Show ability to carry out an independent degree project in geophysics.

Content

Within the course the student will perform an individual degree project in physics: geophysics. During the project the student will train and use abilities that are required for a B.Sc. degree in Physics. Within the project the student shall apply his/her knowledge in physics and geophysics to solve the problem given.

Instruction

The teaching is individual and depends on the form of the project. Individual supervision but also other types of teaching may occur. The course ends with a seminary, where the student orally presents the project work.

Assessment

The course is graded based on the written report and the oral presentation.

Other directives

Before the course result is registered the report must be printed and registered in the database Diva.
