Introduksjon

The project gives practice in solving a research assignment within the computer science area.

Content

NB! This is an elective course and may be cancelled if fewer than 10 students are enrolled by August 20th.

The project gives practice in solving a research assignment within the computer science area. The project is intended as a pre-project for the master thesis. Project tasks are announced by the Department before the semester starts; projects can also be proposed by the student or a company, but approval is strict. It is not required that the student continues the work in a master thesis project, but such an opportunity is given in some cases. That is, the student is free to choose another master project. The Department assigns projects based on grades and the students ability to solve the selected task. If the student lacks the necessary prerequisites, one may risk not being assigned a project.

Every project must have a responsible Professor and a supervisor. For Department projects, the supervisor and responsible Professor may be the same person.

If deemed suitable by the supervisor, it is possible to take the project as group work with maximum two students per group. In this case, the division of tasks between each group member should be clearly stated in the final joint report. The total workload for each student will correspond to 10 ECTS.

Learning outcome

After having completed this course the student shall have detailed knowledge of the topic covered by the project, and be able to perform thorough research and development work within the specific topic.

The course is evaluated (internally) based only on the submitted report.

Each student must submit an individual report.

For group projects, a joint report will be submitted. Division of tasks must be explained in the report.

The project report must be handed in before 17th of December.

Re-sit exam opportunities are not offered on the project assignment. Students who do not pass the project assignment can take this part again the next time the course has regular teaching.

Method of work

15 hours of project work per week corresponding to 10 ECTS. There are not ordinary lectures in this course; each student or student group will receive independent supervision from the assigned supervisor. It is expected that the student performs independent work between supervision sessions similar to what is expected for a Master's thesis.

Emneevaluering

The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
