Examination regulations • Based on a topic assigned immediately after the defence of the bachelor project, the students will be required to prepare a 10-minute long presentation that uses theoretical elements from ‘Theories of Contemporary Society II’ and methodologies from ‘Quantitative Methods II’ to examine a question formulated jointly by the teachers of the two courses (possibly in consultation with the bachelor project supervisor). Depending on the topic and methodology of the bachelor project, the question can be formulated more or less in relation to the bachelor project. • This will be followed by a discussion of 15 minutes (including the examiners’ discussion of the presenter’s performance), initiated by fellow students. • Furthermore, the student will be required to act as discussant for one presentation given by a fellow student during the conference. The student is required to be present throughout that part of the conference in which (s)he gives his/her presentation. • The student is required to deliver an abstract of his/her presentation to his/her discussant(s) at least 24 hours prior to the presentation. • The examiners’ role will primarily be to act as observers, but they may ask questions to the presenters as well. • Participation in the students’ conference – comprising presentation and the role as discussant – will be evaluated with a ‘Pass’/‘Fail’ to be decided by the examiners. Make-up examination and re-examination • The re-take for both students who were ill during the conference or the preparation thereof and for students who failed the regular examination will proceed according to the same format as described above. In case of a non-pass, the student will receive feedback on how to improve his/her performance. • In case only one student has registered for the re-take, comments will be made by the examiners, and the student will not be expected to comment on the presentation of colleagues; otherwise roles will be distributed as described for the regular examination.
