Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar has the aim to support students of the Master 'Science-Technology-Society' throughout the process of elaborating the individual master thesis. We will: (1) address different practical aspects of writing a master thesis, from work organisation over getting additional relevant literature to time management; (2) discuss the individual thesis projects; (3) practice how to give structured and constructive feedback.
Assessment and permitted materials
Grading Scheme:
The grading scheme is based on a total of 100 points. These points will be awarded in relation to students’ performance in meeting the course learning aims in the different obligatory tasks. The maximum number of points to be acquired for each task is:
Exposé and presentation: 40 points
Interim product: 20 points
Comment: 10 points
In-class participation: 30 points
A minimum of 50 points is necessary to successfully complete the course. Failure to meet the attendance regulations, to deliver course assignments on time or to adhere to standards of academic work may result in a deduction of points.
Grades:
1 Excellent 100-87 points
2 Good 86-75 points
3 Satisfactory 74-63 points
4 Sufficient 62-50 points
5 Unsatisfactory (fail) 49-0 points
Important Grading Information:
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme and the attendance regulations must be met. If a required task is not fulfilled, e.g. a required assignment is not handed in or if the student does not meet the attendance requirements, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as 'fail' (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness). In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the vice-director of studies responsible for the master programme.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as 'not assessed' and will be entered into the electronic exam record as 'fraudulently obtained'. Self-plagiarism, particularly re-using own work handed in for other courses, will be treated likewise.
