Content
The course consists of an independent project in the form of a thesis and based on a study of texts and scholarly literature.
Instruction
The course is taught in the form of supervision. This supervision can be carried out individually or in group.
Assessment
The course examination consists primarily of a thesis (c. 40-50 pages), which the student is to defend at a final seminar. As a complement the course is examined through a PM, at discussions in connection with supervision and seminars, and through the evaluation of an opposition on another student's thesis at a final seminar (or, if there are not enough students, through a critical discussion of an article or similar scholarly work at an appropriate level).
