Bachelor's thesis in English for teacher training students
About
About the course
Course content
Students follow the teaching in one of ENG2123, ENG2153, ENG2303, or ENG2502, but take the exam identified by the course title ENG2900 Bachelor's thesis in English for teacher training students instead of the regular exam in the elective course. The course contents will depend on which elective course the student chooses to write their Bachelor's thesis in. Students must be as familiar with the curriculum/reading material in the elective course as students who take the regular exam, but are required to develop an independent thesis topic in dialogue with the course teacher. The Bachelor's thesis replaces the exam in the chosen ENG2000-level course.
Learning outcome

- can use the theories, methodologies and discipline-related terminology expected of an independent work of scholarship.

Learning methods and activities

Further on evaluation
The Bachelor's thesis for teacher training students replaces the exam in one of the courses at the ENG2000-level. The Bachelor's thesis (approx. 4000 words, excluding references and appendices) must be an independent work, and when assessed it is expected that this work, written over the course of a semester, gives evidence of greater depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject-discipline than is expected for a home exam or another regular exam in the same subject, which is written over a more limited period of time.
Students must write the Bachelor's thesis in connection with an ENG2000-course taught in the semester in which the student is working on their thesis (the fifth or sixth semester). This also applies to students re-taking the Bachelor's thesis course.
