Metody hodnocení

Assessment strategy Paper requirements In order to obtain credits for the course, students are required to prepare one individual paper of about 2.500 words. The paper should be submitted by mail to the teacher at the address H-J.Wallin.Weihe@hil.no The main purpose of the seminar is to give guidelines for work on the paper, and to help students start their preparation for paper writing. The theme of the paper is chosen and developed by the student her/himself preferably during the paper seminar, and must be approved by the supervisor. A typical form of a paper would be the essay form, where the author discusses either theoretical or applied/practical questions in the light of theoretical and empirical knowledge drawn from the field of environmental psychology. However, students with the necessary foundations in quantitative or qualitative research methods may choose to conduct a small empirical study.
