Project work (accomplishment of the Bachelor Thesis)
It is important for both the student and the advisor that a good cooperation routine is established during the execution of the project. This may e.g. take the form of regular meetings in which the student will present and discuss his/her work as it develops. Preferably the student should have written something that can form the basis of the conversation/discussion with the advisor. It is an advantage to start writing the thesis at the earliest possible stage.
The organized introduction to the Theory of Science part will be given as concentrated lectures for 10 - 12 hours in the beginning of the semester. This course will forme the basis for a written essay of a self-elected theme.
