Tests and theses

See your Faculty’s tab for more information on what we expect of you as a lecturer, before, during and after tests and examinations, and when supervising students in writing their thesis.

Thesis assessment form

All bachelor and master theses are to be assessed by two evaluators, independently of each other. The faculty has developed a digital form to support this process. There are three forms: One for each evaluator and one for a final mutual assessment.
