The timetable of the course

Tidtabellen för grupphandledning och
masterarbetsprocessen planeras tillsammans med
handledaren utgående från studentens
idé(seminarium).

Masterarbetet rekommenderas utföras inom något av Arcadas projekt, eller som uppdrag från arbetslivet (om du har en idé om ett utvecklingsarbete i anslutning till t.ex.
din arbetsplats, kom och diskutera
idén med examensansvariga eller någon av
överlärarna). Alla masterarbeten skall ha en
ifylld blankett för projekterat arbete (se
separat dokument på itslearning, eller Start).
Masterarbetet omfattar en process i tre steg
som syftar till att stöda och underlätta
arbetsgången. Dessa steg är
1) intensions-/idéfas,
2)planfas och
3) framförande av masterarbetet (se
bilaga för masterarbetets processbeskrivning).
