Hei alle,
Dere som lurer på hva IMK-studenter har skrevet hoved- og masteroppgaver om tidligere kan finne dette her
Lenken er til søkestreng i Bibsys med oversikt over alle oppgaver. Etter 2010 er DUO en mer autoritativ kilde (pga endringer i registreringsprosedyrer osv). -- Here is a short cut for all who want to see a list of all previous master thesises at IMK . Note that this list is complete until 2010. After 2010 DUO is a more complete source.
Group supervision
First meetings will be during ordinary lecture time 9 October. We meet in the ordinary lecture room (205) as usual - and the groups will then be announced - and then we will contintue in the groups.
Obligatory assignments
Feedback on your reading list assignment is now available in Fronter. A few are missing a publication on their reading lists and are asked to send in a new list (see comment in Fronter). Send this directly by e-mail to Tanja. An approved assignment does not necessarily mean that everything is perfect. There are some general issues especially concerning references to online sources that we will discuss in class 9 October.
Feedback on your one page outlines will be given during group supervision 9 October. The outlines have been formally approved and this is reported in Fronter. This does not, necessarily mean that everything is ok with your idea - this will be discussed in the groups.
