The result discussion is mainly referring and certain aspects that are central to the aim of the thesis are treated incompletely or not at all. The presentation is, to some extent, not stringent. The coherence between aim and conclusion is poor.

PRESENTATION
The summary of the thesis is partially inadequate. The introduction gives a partially misleading/unclear picture of the subject. The aim is unclearly described or is inappropriate for a degree thesis. There is no coherence between the research questions and the aim of the thesis.
There are a few errors in the reference list and in the in-text citation.
The presentation is relatively unsystematic, the opposition is mainly referring. The work process has been characterized by certain problems and a dependent working method.
