Course content

A cohesive work in pedagogy is planned, carried out, analysed and presented in the course. The work is structured as a degree project in education. The focus of the course is on implementation and writing of the degree project on the basis of relevant theorising and previous research.

Teaching and working methods

Teaching takes the form of continuous supervision for the duration of the thesis work and in seminars. The thesis work should follow the formalities that are set by the supervisor and examiner. Both presentation and examination of the essays is done in planned seminar activity. The bachelor's essay may be carried out independently or with another course participant.

Examination

The examination is in oral and written form. The course is examined at the end of the course. Detailed information can be found in the separate course instructions.

If special circumstances prevail, and if it is possible with consideration of the nature of the compulsory component, the examiner may decide to replace the compulsory component with another equivalent component.

If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it.

If the coordinator has recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.

An examiner may also decide that an adapted examination or alternative form of examination if the examiner assessed that special circumstances prevail, and the examiner assesses that it is possible while maintaining the objectives of the course.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
