About the supervision
•
The normal frequency of meetings with the supervisor is every
second week.
•
It is mainly the student who puts “the agenda” for the meeting,
i.e. you are expected to have some progress to show and to
have prepared questions.
•
At each meeting it is wise to agree on what are the next steps
•
You are expected to successively show progress in your report
writing:
•
Start writing very early!
•
Submit manuscript parts to the supervisor in due time before the
meeting (to facilitate feed-back)

About the grading
•
Each thesis is graded using the ECTS-scale (A-F)
•
The grading is based on
1. The Scientific quality of the thesis (adequacy and
originality of the methods used, significance of obtained
results, discourse skill)
•
n.b. “originality” is not equivalent to the development of new
methods, rather that the methods used have not previously
been applied on the kind of data used
2. Technical quality of the thesis (correctness of language and
scientific terminology, quality of illustrations)
•
This applies to the manuscript as submitted (by May 29)
