Notes on the assessment guidelines for bachelor's and master's theses

After you have submitted the thesis, the reviewers have 4 to 6 weeks time to evaluate the thesis. The evaluation takes place on the basis of a so-called rubric in which various criteria are assessed. Separate rubrics were developed for literature reviews and for empirical theses for qualification; you can see them here. After the assessment, we recommend that you receive feedback on the thesis and discuss the assessment with your supervisor.
