When you disregard your own links that is supposed to strengthen your case and
continue with unsubstantiated personal opinion, then it becomes tiresome. Permit
me to quote from the ruleset for physics (in Danish):

"Specialestudiet gennemføres normalt i tæt kontakt med en gruppe forskere og kan
bestå i et afgrænset forskningsprojekt og/eller et kritisk litteraturstudium
inden for et valgt fagområde. Studiet kan også gennemføres inden for (et af) de
fysiske fags didaktik."

Which means that the alternatives are limited research project, critical
literary study or a treatment of the subject's didactical aspects. Comparative
or compendium (-like) studies are the latter two options. The supervisors don't
decide what you can or cannot write about if the topic is within the ruleset. I
suspect that traditions play a role when we talk physics at Copenhagen
University. That's not an excuse, however.

Regards,
Mogens
