28. Term projects in core studies
a. In the fall and spring semesters, but not in the first semester, the students normally work on a term project in a group. In order to graduate, students must complete three term projects, with the exception of those who participate in study abroad at a foreign university. They must complete at least two term projects.
b. The goal of term projects is to give students an opportunity to apply the knowledge they gain in their studies to solve real-life questions. Careful scholarly working methods are required.
c. Students propose groups which must be approved by the Director of Academic Services. Each group works on its term project together. An attempt must be made to have a balance of students from different class years in these groups.
d. In order to begin work on the term project, students need to submit a research plan and the Faculty Dean must approve it.
e. Students submit their term project in the form of a written report, and defend it in the presence of teachers who evaluate the project and grade it. Each term project group must also actively take part in the defence of one other term project group.
f. In the assessment of term projects, the report counts for 75%, students’ performance in their own defence, 15%, the research plan, 5%, and contribution to other defences, 5%.
