Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should

be able to search, collect, evaluate and interpret relevant information in a problem critically and to discuss phenomena, issues and situations critically
be able to identify independently, formulate and solve problems and to carry out assignments within given periods
be able to report, orally and in writing, and discuss information, problems and solutions in dialogue with different groups
be able to show such skills that are required to work independently in the area of the education
have made contact with research or development work.

Content

Within the course, the student carries out an independent project in computer science. In this project, the skills and abilities that should be achieved according to the aims for a Bachelor's degree are used and trained. Within the project, the student applies the acquired knowledge and experience in computer science on a specific problem. The project is normally of research or development nature. 1 credit of the 15 credits of the course consists of teacher-supervised learning with compulsory attendance, regarding

searching information: library science, scientific sources, source evaluation
to write and publish: Technical, editorial and linguistic aspects; how one designs figures and tables, the editorial process; scientific versus popular science style
to write in English and in Swedish
to make a poster: technical and educational aspects
gender perspective on scientific work

Instruction

The teaching is formed individually dependent on the specialisation of the project. Supervision is given individually or in groups, but also other tuition forms can occur. 1 of the 15 credits of the course consists of compulsory teacher-supervised teaching, generally in lecture section (see Contents). The course is completed with a presentation seminar.

Assessment

The course is examined based on the implemented work and the written and oral presentation of this.
