| + | A checklist based on common issues: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The link to contemporary development within the area is often weak; theses rarely discuss international research sufficiently in-depth (use the references poorly) | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Clear research questions are often missing (having a clear research question that is answered in the report usually results in a much clearer evaluation and conclusions.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The text must argue for the research questions, hypothesis, methods and results; often, there is no argument to support the choice. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Citations should not be used as a word in a sentence, e.g., "as [1] says ..." | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Make sure your figure/table captions are informative; all figures must be references in the text | ||
| − | + | * The abstract should be clear, specifying exactly what is to be investigated and why | |
| − | + | * Results should be put in context to the previous works that they identified in the report | |
| − | + | * Social aspects of the work are rarely discussed | |

A checklist based on common issues:
- The link to contemporary development within the area is often weak; theses rarely discuss international research sufficiently in-depth (use the references poorly)
- Clear research questions are often missing (having a clear research question that is answered in the report usually results in a much clearer evaluation and conclusions.)
- The text must argue for the research questions, hypothesis, methods and results; often, there is no argument to support the choice.
- Citations should not be used as a word in a sentence, e.g., "as [1] says ..."
- Make sure your figure/table captions are informative; all figures must be references in the text
- The abstract should be clear, specifying exactly what is to be investigated and why
- Results should be put in context to the previous works that they identified in the report
- Social aspects of the work are rarely discussed

Introduction lecture presenting the process and expectations on MSc project will take place on Monday, 14 October 2019 at 15:15.
The next opportunity for MSc presentations is on Monday, 23 September 2019 at 13:15 (contact Slawomir if you intend to make the presentation, so that we know how many to plan for). Also, make sure to send the supervisor-approved reports to the examiners a week before, so by 16 September 2019.

Final presentations should be 15 minutes long, and must cover the goals/objectives, final contribution/novelty, the results and conclusions from the work.
