There also exists the possibility of writing an assessed essay (4000 words) in substitution of the endtest.
Assessment and permitted materials
Examinations will take place at the meetings December 12th, 2014(Midtermtest) and January 30th, 2015 (Endtest) by one 90 minute invigilated examination paper. Examination papers contain about 6 questions, of which the candidates are required to answer three. Permission to replace the invigilated examination by assessed work will be granted only to students who follow this course satisfactorily to its conclusion. Special preparatory meetings for the midtermtest and the endtemtest will be offered as well.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the wide-ranging problems and controversies in the philosophy of science and in particular in the logic of history. Although the course is mainly analytical its general approach is historical as well, and tries to provide an understanding of how problems and tentative solutions have developed in that field.
