About the course

In the course, the students apply systems concepts and systems thinking in their own research by drafting a text aimed at publication (or similar). Students write and submit an article with substantial content regarding systems theory, or suggest their own assignment to the course instructors. The written drafts are scrutinized by the course instructors who offer supervision up to the point where scientific relevance, content and presentation are deemed satisfactory. In other words, the course assignment undergoes a regular peer review process and will receive feedback and the informal rating accepted, minor/major review or rejected

Literature

The literature is determined on an individual level depending on what is relevant to the student’s research topic
