There are no specific prerequisites for this course.
|
|
|
|
|
The overall purpose of this course is to: - Develop Understanding on typical scientific work involved in Transportation Sciences
- Develop ability to autonomously carry out research in Transportation Sciences
- Exploration of additional interests, skills, abilities (eg study promotion, volunteer work 'in field', website development, etc.)
The above objectives of the course is achieved by active participation in the task provided to the students. Also, students have to work out thier Master's thesis Plan of Approach report in this course so that students are well prepared and immediately start working on thier thesis once this course is successfully completed.

Semester 2 (6,00sp)
| Evaluation method | |
|
| Written evaluation during teaching period | 95 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | Yes, with condition |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | This evaluation is based on the task completion component (3 ECTS), the
IOP sustainability task completion (1 ECTS), the Critical Reflection
(0.5 ECTS, Partially) and the Plan of Approach Assignment (1.5 ECTS).
Retention of the partial grade for the different components of the
course from the teaching period for the second exam attempt, even in the
event of a failing grade. If a student fails in task completion
components(3 ECTS+1 ECTS), i.e. score <10/20, then the task completion
components and the critical reflection component are considered failed,
and the marks obtained in these components are not retained. The 2nd
chance exam is only available for the Plan of Approach and critical
reflection components. |

| Oral evaluation during teaching period | 5 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | Yes, with condition |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | This evaluation is partially applicable for Critical refelection
component(0.5 ECTS). of the course. Retention of the partial grade for
this components of the course from the teaching period for the second
exam attempt, even in the event of a failing grade and only if task
completion components(3 ECTS+1 ECTS) are passed (i.e. score equals or
higher than 10/20). |

|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The course contains 4 components, Thesis Plan of Approach Report (1.5 ECTS), Task Completion (3 ECTS), IOP Sustainability Task Completion(1 ECTS) and Critical Reflection (0.5 ECTS). Participation/Submission of relevant work in time for all components is compulsory. In order to take part in the debate within the Critical Reflection component, the Tasks Completion component needs to be completed first. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | 1) Students need to pass all 4 components of the course separately (score equal or higher than 10), If the student receives less than 10/20 in one of the components, they will get a maximum of 9/20 in the whole course.
2) If the student fails in participation/submission of work in time in either of the component of the course, this results in 0/20 for that specific component of the course, and “N” for the whole course unit. |
|
|
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | The 2nd exam chance applies only to the Critical Reflection Component
and Thesis Plan of Approach Report of the course. 2nd Exam chance will
NOT be available to those students who have either Failed (score less
than 10/20) or Not participated in the Task completion components (3
ECTS + 1 ECTS).
If the student has a second exam attempt, it is their responsibility to
contact the coordinator in good time if it is unclear which component
evaluation(s) they need to complete for the second attempt.
