More information about student rights can be found here.
14. Survey about the functionality of the course Bachelor’s thesis and seminar
Hello!
This is your Head of Study Affairs speaking! The amount of Bachelor’s thesis subjects has been a headache to everyone who has had the unfortunate chance to attend the course, so I am now going to bring it up to the school.
The idea is to make the process of proposing your own topic easier, since it is already possible, but only few realize to exploit it and when the Bachelor’s thesis course starts, it is usually too late.
Therefore, my proposal to the school is as follows:
- A clear and exhaustive process chart to the Making of a Bachelor’s thesis page about how you can propose your own topic (a list of the people who you can propose it to, how to come up with your own topic, etc.)
- Both the association and the school will remind members well before the start of a Bachelor’s thesis course about the possibility of proposing your own topic
- The dates for seminar days should be published earlier and more of them are needed (?)
On top of this, my intention is to talk about the current topic selection system with the school, since the F5 race is liked by few. With the proposal mentioned above, my intention is to open further discussion about the matter and make the wheels of change move.
Now I would ask you, dear members, to say your opinion on the matter here! I would especially like to hear your opinions about whether there is a need for change concerning the seminar days, since there hasn’t been that much discussion about them.
I wish you all an amazing start for the academic year!
