Exam questions composed for two Department of health studies Ex.Phil. exams
Some days back I composed exam questions for Examen Philosophicum at University of Stavanger´s Department of health studies (course code SVEXPHIL2), for both the home exam and the Multiple Choice exam. I am involved as an examiner, not as course coordinator.
No from UiA
A few weeks back I applied for the position as Head of Department of Nordic and Media Studies at University of Agder. When it turned out I was the only applicant, I thought I had a shot. However, it turns out that an internal scholar was, after the deadline had passed, asked to apply, and he is now being interviewed, whereas I am no longer being considered for the position.
