Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to let doctoral students study a subject, that is not covered in an adequate way in other courses and that does not justify an own course code, for example because there are too few doctoral students wanting to take it or because the course is intended to be given only once or a few times.
To pass the course the student should be able to show mastering of the subject to a depth that corresponds to the number of credits and the student's background. This can be achieved by:
- orally or in writing present, criticise and demonstrate understanding of the research in a limited subject area,
- further developing, instantiating or applying a research method or results to examples of relevance for the student's research,
- identifying the most important challenges and open problems in a research domain as well as demonstrating limitations and applicability for chosen research results in the area.
