Course content
Students follow the teaching in one of the following courses: ENG2123, ENG2153, ENG2303, ENG2455, ENG2501, or ENG2502, but take the exam identified by the course title ENG2900 Bachelor’s thesis in English for teacher training students instead of the regular exam in the elective course. The course contents will depend on which elective course the student chooses to write their Bachelor's thesis in. Students must be as familiar with the curriculum/reading material in the elective course as students who take the regular exam, but are required to develop an independent thesis topic in dialogue with the course teacher.
The Bachelor's thesis replaces the exam in the chosen ENG2000-level course.
All students must write an abstract of the thesis of approx. 1/2 page. The abstract will be written in both English and Norwegian and be placed first in the document, before the table of contents.

Further on evaluation
About the assessment:
The Bachelor's thesis for teacher training students replaces the exam in one of the courses at the ENG2000-level. The Bachelor's thesis must be an independent work (approx. 4000 words, excluding references and appendices), and when assessed it is expected that this work, written over the course of a semester, gives evidence of greater depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject-discipline than is expected for a home exam or another regular exam in the same subject, which is written over a more limited period of time.
Students must write the Bachelor's thesis in connection with an ENG2000-course taught in the semester in which the student is working on their thesis (fifth or sixth semester). This also applies to students re-taking the Bachelor's thesis course. The thesis must be written in English.
