| Registration |
Sign up for study activities at stads selvbetjening within the announced registration period, as you can see on the Studyadministration homepage. When signing up for study activities, please be aware of potential conflicts between study activities or exam dates. The planning of activities at Roskilde University is based on the recommended study programs which do not overlap. However, if you choose optional courses and/or study plans that goes beyond the recommended study programs, an overlap of lectures or exam dates may occur depending on which courses you choose. |

| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with an overview of the application, reflection and internal subject-matter perspectives in the field of mathematics and physics |
| Detailed description of content |
Understand and compare the content of 2-3 IMFUFA seminars. There are 10-11 seminars during a semester and the program will be available around the start of semester. It is expected that students attend most or all of the seminars. The program will give the speaker names, titles and (in some cases) abstracts of the seminars. Students choose two or three seminars and a theme through which to compare them. The theme can be rather broadly defined, for example "different types of mathematical modelling". They write a report summarizing each seminar, including relevant back knowledge and a brief discussion of the connection with the theme for each seminar. An brief overall introduction is also expected. |
| Course material and Reading list |
There is no pre-assigned syllabus/reading list. The program for IMFUFA Seminars contains abstracts for the seminars and in some cases references to relevant scientific literature. Often relevant literature will be given during the seminar and in most cases slides from the presentation can be obtained from the speaker afterwards. |
| Overall plan and expected work effort |
The course gives 5 ECTS points; 5 ECTS corresponds to 135 hours of work. Student effort is allocated as follows (135 hours total):

| Evaluation and feedback |
The course includes formative evaluation based on dialogue between the students and the teacher(s). Students are expected to provide constructive critique, feedback and viewpoints during the course if it is needed for the course to have better quality. Every other year at the end of the course, there will also be an evaluation through a questionnaire in SurveyXact. The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher. Furthermore, students can, in accordance with RUCs ‘feel free to state your views’ strategy through their representatives at the study board, send evaluations, comments or insights form the course to the study board during or after the course. |
| Programme |
The detailed program, containing the speakers, titles and abstracts, will be available at the start of each semester. |

| Prerequisites |
|
| Form of examination |
Active, regular attendance, and satisfactory participation
Active participation is defined as: The student must participate in course-related activities (e.g., workshops, seminars, field excursions, process study groups, working conferences, supervision groups, and feedback sessions). Regular attendance is defined as: - The student must be present for a minimum of 75 percentof the lessons. Satisfactory participation is defined as: - e.g., oral presentations (individually or in a group), peer reviews, mini projects, tests, and planning of a course session. Assessment: Pass/Fail |
| Form of Re-examination |
Individual written take-home assignment
The character limit of the assignment is: 24,000-48,000 characters, including spaces. The character limit includes the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude appendices. The duration of the take-home assignment is 7 days and may include weekends and public holidays. Assessment: Pass/Fail |
| Type of examination in special cases |
|
| Examination and assessment criteria (implemented) |
The specific requirement for satisfactory participation is the writing of a report of 24000-48000 characters based on 2-3 seminars. The report will be evaluated on how well the student has been able to summarize and explain the essential content of the chosen seminars, making connection with relevant literature as appropriate, and connect them to the chosen theme. The students performence will be assessed by the following assessment criteria
Regarding the use of generative AI at the exam In this course, generative AI tools (GAI) are allowed in the work on the exam if their use is declared. You must clearly indicate how you have used generative artificial intelligence (GAI). This can, for example, be included as part of a methodology section or as a brief statement at the end of your exam paper or submitted as an appendix to your assignment. This means that you must describe how you have used GAI, for example, for preparatory work on the assignment, to ask questions, search and process information, receive feedback and critique on your text, perform proofreading, or improve language and readability. It is important that you actively consider your choice of tools in this way, as it is part of the entire creation process of the assignment and thus part of your scientific method and academic communication. The use of any specific text that is GAI-generated requires citation, just like the use of any other sources from which direct quotes are taken. The use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) must always take place within the framework of Roskilde University's ‘Guidelines for using generative artificial intelligence in exams’. In the library's guide, you can see more about how to cite AI, how you can declare your use of GAI, and read Roskilde University’s Guidelines - https://libguides.ruc.dk/AI. Regular spell check and other language suggestions, as known from Word or other word processing programs, as well as programs for writing minutes and transcription, are allowed in all written exams and do not need to be declared. Regarding the use of generative AI at the reexam In this course, the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is not allowed in the exam. However, general spell-checking and other language suggestions, such as those known from Word or other word processors, are permitted in all written exams.
