EDU4310 – Thesis Proposal Writing and Thesis Research Seminars
Course content
In preparation of the thesis, students will be taught how to develop a research proposal outlining all aspects of the planned work. The proposals will be discussed in research seminars. The proposal must be approved by the supervisor before planned field work for the thesis can be undertaken.
Learning outcome
The course aims at enhancing the students’ capacity to plan independent research and to communicate this in a research proposal and orally to the academic community.
