Graduate level

My Masters Thesis: Echelon. Cross-Media Under Surveillance
June 2001
Written together with 3 other students (Mikkel Cauchi, Kevin Cook McLean and Rebecca Pruzan), we attempted to discover the theoretical, technical and practical implications when developing a cross-media format. We developed a test-case "Echelon" to support our findings. The Echelon game, however, is not available online any longer, but screen shots are available here.

The WAP project: Tranzmobile

My "thesis team" (+ Henrik Norberg) and I made a WAP site for the on-line radio station "Tranzistor". Here clubs and bars in Copenhagen are to be rated real time and published to all WAP users. The site also included a public chat that is still quite popular.

TV violence's affect on children
May 1999
In social psychology I did a comparative study of how children are affected by the violence viewed on television and in movies. The findings were a bit frightening all though these kind of studies should be considered indicative more than conclusive.
Grade received: A

Allport’s Theory of Traits, A Critical Review of the Theory and Two Studies
May 1999
Despite the increasing popularity of "personality tests" that classify people within predefined personality traits, they are not in any way a resent idea. Allport wrote many of the founding views of personality traits already in the '30es. I consider his views on personality with in a more up-to-date perspective.
Grade received: A+
