Course content

Textanalysis as in NORD1104 and NORD1108, except that NORX-students will not have to write the obligatory assignment, and not demonstrate mastery in both "bokmål" and "nynorsk". Also, the difference between the demands to correct use of the Norwegian language between 'NORX' courses and ordinary 'NORD' courses is explained in the text about Scandinavian studies in the course catalogue for 2010/2011 (In Norwegian: 'Studiehandboka 2010/2011').

Curriculum: The students will create their own list of either 20 lyrical or 10-15 shorter epic texts in addition to a relevant theoretical work. The final oral test will be a conversation based on the students individual curriculum. The reading list must be approved by the department.
