Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The introduction is short, bland and does not introduce the reader to the topic. The purpose is unclear/not entirely relevant and the questions do not relate to the purpose/or are incorrect. The motivation for the subject choice is weak. The introduction gives a partially misleading/unclear picture of the subject. The purpose is not clearly described and the logical connection of the questions to the purpose is weak. The motivation for the choice of subject unclear.

The theoretical background and starting point is built up from preferably few sources and is very generally and/or briefly described. A non-independent referring style of writing is used. A certain source criticism can be perceived. The theoretical background and starting point is built up from relevant literature but remains very general and/or briefly described. The sources are few and form a weak theoretical framework for the work. The source criticism is flawed
The choice of method, the description, the method discussion and the ethical discussion are rudimentary and incomplete. The results and method discussion, including a critical review of the survey/study, is not relevant with regard to the work. The conclusions are undeveloped and trivial. Parts of the method description, the method discussion and/or the ethical discussion are deficient. The results, method discussion/critical review is very superficial. The conclusions are trivial.

The result discussion is mainly referential, and is incomplete with respect to what is relevant for the purpose of the work. The logical rigor of the presentation is weak. The feedback to the purpose is particularly weak in the conclusion. And a summary model/discussion is taken The result discussion is mainly referential and certain aspects that are central with respect to the purpose of the work are treated incompletely or not at all. The presentation is not strict in some parts. The feedback to the purpose is weak in the conclusion.
The summary of the work is deficient. There are inaccuracies in the list of sources and references. The presentation is weak and incoherent, the opposition shows an inability to critically examine a text. Partially immature, problematic and unindependent way of working. The summary of the study/investigation is partially deficient. There are some inaccuracies in the list of sources and references. The presentation is relatively unsystematic, the opposition is purely referential. The work process has been characterized by certain problems and an independent way of working.

A possible practical/artistic part of the degree project is weak and a relevant connection to the text part is missing or deficient.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The introduction provides a sufficiently good picture for the reader to understand the theme and purpose of the study/investigation. The purpose and the questions are logically connected to each other. The motivation for the choice of topic is clearly described. The introduction provides a clear background picture of how the work relates to previous research and thus to the purpose. The purpose and the questions are logically connected to each other. The justification for the choice of subject is interesting
There is a basic ability to synthesize and the theory forms a relevant background. The literature is relevant with respect to the theme and the theoretical starting point is appropriate. A good source criticism. The study/research is based on a good theoretical whole based on extensive and relevant literature, as well as a clear and adequate theoretical starting point. A good reference base.

The method description provides a comprehensive picture of the study's implementation, however without detailed discussion of different method choices. The survey/study has a scope corresponding to a HYH EA and is well conducted. The ethical discussion is brief but presents the relevant ethical issues. The critical review is comprehensive but not reflective. The conclusions are reasonable and relate back to the purpose, but demonstrate no ability to reflect beyond this. The method description gives a comprehensive picture of the implementation of the study and shows an awareness of the pros and cons regarding the choice of method. The scope of the study is sufficient in terms of material to correspond to a dissertation at HYH level. The ethical discussion is extensive and exhaustive in terms of relevant ethical issues. The conclusions are extensive and well founded.

The results report is systematic but preferably referential. The feedback to the purpose in the conclusion is clear, but brief and a clear reflection is missing. The reporting of results is correct, systematic and demonstrates the ability to reason independently. The feedback to the purpose in the final management is clear and comprehensive and demonstrates strengths and weaknesses in the implementation.

Good summary of the survey. Layout, list of sources and references follow the standard. Presentation and opposition follow the instructions The work process has been smooth and largely independent. Very good summary of the research Source list and references follow the standard. The presentation is systematic and the writer shows the ability to develop and clarify his theme. The opposition is critical and constructive and shows a good ability to understand the theme of the opposed work. The work process is mature and largely independent

Any practical/artistic part of the thesis is strong and correlates with the text part in a meritorious way.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The introduction manages to problematize previous research and knowledge on the subject and therefore puts the purpose in a scientifically interesting context. The purpose and the questions are logically connected to each other and there is a clear connection to the purpose throughout the work.

The theoretical background and starting point is well founded and well written. A reflected approach regarding the theme can be seen in the work. The use of sources is extensive and relevant, and shows a striking ability to criticize references.

The method description provides a comprehensive picture of the implementation of the study and shows awareness of the pros and cons of the choice of method, as well as the ability to consider different alternatives. The ethical discussion is extensive and exhaustive in terms of relevant ethical issues. The conclusions are extensive and well founded; the writer is also able to critically evaluate these and point to new perspectives and questions for continued research.

The results report is well structured, innovative and demonstrates the ability to reason independently. The feedback to the purpose in the conclusion is clear and comprehensive. Strengths and weaknesses in the implementation of the study/investigation are discussed. The work concludes with an interesting conclusion, well-grounded synthesis and description of development opportunities.

Excellent summary of the survey. The list of sources and references follow the standard. The presentation is systematic and the writer shows the ability to develop and clarify his theme. The opposition is critical and constructive and also shows a good ability to problematize and critically reflect. The work process is flexible, mature and independent. The work has something unique that provides luminous power.

A possible practical/artistic part of the degree project is strong and can also stand on its own. The connection to the theory and the text part is clear and well structured.
