Explanation

AssessmentGrading scale
TOTAL1-20/20 scale

The written paper of the Bachelor's thesis should be submitted on time. If the paper is not submitted on time, the student cannot participate in the presentation in front of the jury. Only in cases of force majeure can an extension of the submission deadline be given by the programme manager.

The jury determines the final score for the Bachelor's thesis. The jury bases this on the following evaluation components:

  • approach, process and final result (50%)
  • communication (30%): written report (15%) and oral presentation (15%)
  • answers to the questions asked (20%)

If the student does not submit a written paper or does not presentes the Bachelor's thesis in front of the jury, this results in an NA (not taken) which is processed as a 0/20 for this course unit.
