Learning outcomes and assessment criteria |

Overall content |
The course is designed around a number of science theory themes with associated cases. Among other things, this will include traditional scientific-theoretical positions such as logical positivism, Kuhn’s theory on scientific revolutions and Popper’s falsifiability, as well as core concepts such as pseudo-science, empiricism, realism, objectivity, truth, reality and ethics. |
Prerequisites for participation in the exam |
During the course, students must prepare six group assignments. Students are divided into groups of 2-4. The assignments are set by the lecturer during the course. The assignments are submitted during the course, and submission deadlines will be published on study.ruc.dk. The assignments are assessed by the lecturer, who also provides feedback on the assignments. In the event that one or several students’ assignments are not approved or not submitted on time, a new submission (re-submission) deadline will be set. For re-submissions, the lecturer may require the student to prepare an extra assignment. It is possible to re-submit all assignments one at a time, but each assignment can only be re-submitted once. |
