You are also expected to have searched for scientific literature on the problem formulation, and prepared a preliminary list of references. Your preliminary ideas on how to investigate the problem statement should also be described. The cluster supervisor sets up a peer feedback plan to help sharpen your problem formulation and thus the project. You are also expected to provide peer feedback to other project groups Regarding internal evaluation: To be held just before the intensive final phase of project writing. Here it is expected that you have done most of the work, - you now only have to write the final report. Therefore, you can write an extended abstract with: • Problem area • Problem definition • Method - your empirical work • Theory • Analysis/discussion • Expected conclusion Page restriction: approx. 5-6 pages Again, you give and receive peer feedback, which sharpens your work in the last intensive project phase. |
