To all participants in SUM …
To all participants in SUM 4011B:
One of the main objectives of the course will be to assist students in the preparation of their project description, a 5 – 10 page document that encapsulates the essentials of their master’s project, such as its goal,rationale, main research questions, theoretical background, method and important references. The idea is that by the end of the course, students will have completed a draft of their projection description, which can then be finalised after the course in cooperation with their thesis advisor.
The intention is that the thesis advisor will be assigned to each student either during or as soon as possible after the completion of the course. Each student’s project description must be formally approved by their thesis advisor by the end of the Spring semester (last week of June).
We suggest that students come to the first day of SUM 4011B on 25 April with an idea or idea(s) on a possible thesis topic. They may also come with a suggestion or request for a specific thesis adviser, who could be either someone on the SUM staff or from another Faculty at the University of Oslo.
