Explanation
Evaluation characteristics
The evaluation addresses the student's analytical and synthetic ability for independent problem solving at an academic level. The end product must be critically reflective and theoretically substantiated. These general criteria are translated into a number of separate sub-criteria that are taken into account during the process:
1. Elaboration of research proposal: motivation, central objective of the master's thesis and plan of action
2. Elaboration of research results: theoretical positioning, scientific quality, critical reflection and social or business relevance
3. Presentation of research results: argumentation, scientific format, oral presentation and dialogue
4. General attitude and motivation: analytical skills, attitude of rigor and motivation to learn, cooperation with all stakeholders
The deadline for submitting the master's thesis and the dates of the defense will be announced via Toledo.
Determination of the final result
The course is assessed by the assessment committee. The result is calculated at twenty points using a digit with one decimal place. Correct use of Standard Dutch in spoken and written language is required. Detailed information is available on Toledo.
If the stipulated submission deadline is not respected, the final assessment of the master's thesis will be NA (not taken), unless a new submission date is determined after application for serious reasons.
Second exam chance
* The evaluation characteristics and determination of the final result of the second examination opportunity are identical to those of the first examination opportunity as described above.
