  Student's schedule and workload

  Students independently plan their work and include time for supervision, using/following the practical guide for thesis writing.

  Assessment criteria

  Grade 0
  FRAUD AND IRREGULARITIES ALWAYS GENERATE A FAILED GRADE REGARDLESS OF GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE THESIS
  
  THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
  The theoretical background and the theoretical framework of the study are irrelevant and source criticism is missing.
  
  SCIENTIFIC WRITING
  The work is not systematic and the language is commonplace and inexact.
  The understanding of the text is at stake due to language and grammatical mistakes.
  The text is neither clear nor logical, and is not credible, for example, in the result.
  
  METHOD
  The choice of methodology is not described or is poorly described and irrelevant.
  The correlation between the method description and the realisation of the thesis is very poor.
  The ethical discussion is irrelevant or missing.
  The thesis is not comprehensive enough according to standards for a thesis.
  The conclusions are illogical and are not drawn on an analysis of the data material.
  
  RESULTS
  The presentation of the results is insufficient/ incorrect/ not based on the analysis of the data material.
  There is no logical structure and the analysis/ reflective discussion is uncritical and shallow.
  
  THESIS AS A WHOLE AND PRESENTATION
  The summary of the thesis is poorly written (abstract).
  The introduction is not linked to the content of the thesis, the aim is not clear and the research questions are not in accordance with the aim.
  Unstructured layout and incorrect reference list.
  The presentation is unstructured, unprepared and irrelevant.
  The opposition of the thesis is irrelevant and based on personal opinions.
  Immature and dependent work process.

  Assessment criteria – satisfactory (1-2)

  THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
  grade 1
  The theoretical background and the theoretical framework of the thesis are based on few sources and the description is general or brief.
  Sources are referred to in an unreflective way.
  Some source criticism can be found in the text.
  
  grade 2
  The theoretical background and the theoretical framework of the thesis are based on mainly relevant literature but remain very general or briefly described.
  The sources are few, only partially relevant and form a weak theoretical background for the thesis.
  The ability to present an overview of relevant research is weak.
  The source criticism is inadequate.
  
  SCIENTIFIC WRITING
  grade1
  The language is commonplace, throughout the work and the terminology is unclear or inexact.
  Popular science sources are frequently used and it is not possible to know if the difference between scientific sources and popular science is understood.
  The source paths are not clear.
  
  grade 2
  The use of language is uneven.
  There is commonplace text which influence the accuracy, especially in the background (use of sources and understanding of scientific literature), while the presentation of the results shows a basic ability to use scientific language.
  
  METHOD
  grade1
  The description of method is rudimentary and incomplete.
  The discussion on results and method including a critical review of the study is irrelevant or very superficially described.
  The conclusions are shallow and trivial.
  
  grade 2
  The description of the method is general and part of the description of method, discussion of methods or the ethical discussion are poor.
