Master's Thesis Internship
Summary of the subject: The master's thesis must solve a complex software engineering problem and assumes research and/or innovation. The qualifying work should not contain academic plagiarism, fabrication, or falsification. Qualifying work should be published on the official website of the University or its department, or in the repository of this institution.
Опис: The explanatory note should have the following structure:
title page; task for the master's thesis; abstract in Ukrainian; abstract in English; summary in Ukrainian (is the defense in English is planned); summary translation into English (is the defense in English is planned); content; list of abbreviations and terms when appropriate; introduction; analytical chapter; theoretical chapter; software implementation chapter; research chapter; conclusions; literature resources; appendices
Assessment methods and criteria: Master's thesis can be defended only if its originality lies in the range 70–100%.
A master’ thesis should be defended publicly. A student shows the results of their master’s thesis within 15 minutes, both providing a presentation-supported speech and demonstrating a video that records the main features of the developed software. After that the examining committee ask questions that can concern the work itself and/or everything that the student is supposed to know since they have completed a range of disciplines within their master study. Everybody present is allowed to ask questions is the head of the examining committee does not mind it. When there are no more questions, the secretary announces the supervisor’s and the reviewer’s marks. On the same day, after all the candidates have passed the above-said procedure, the examining committee secretly discusses the final marks. If the opinions split, the head of the examining committee has a winning voice.
Критерії оцінювання результатів навчання: When assessing a master’s thesis, the examining committee takes into account the theoretical, scientific and practical maturity of a candidate along with the supervisor’s and reviewer’s marks. The mark is in the national scale (“excellent”, “good”, “satisfactory”, “non-satisfactory”), then it is mapped into the 100-point scale using the average interval values.
