Om emnet
This module will review the requirements that apply to both the master’s thesis and academic texts, including academic accounts, source criticism, discussions and the expected structure of the master’s thesis as an academic text. The students will work on a topic through specific examples and an outline to produce a project description for their master’s thesis. The module includes lectures on individual topics that have not been sufficiently elucidated, such as ‘Industry as Laboratory’.
