Master Thesis

For the evaluation of the performance of the Student during the internship, an evaluation grid, that includes grade (5/20) and comments, is sent by the Student to the co-supervisor.

Once filled, the evaluation grid is sent back by the co-supervisor to the UPO Secretariat (emotion@uniupo.it) by the end of August.

JEB Members can give up to 15 additional points:

Evaluation of the manuscript (5/20)

Evaluation of the manuscript (5/20) given by the supervisor.

Here are some criteria that can be followed for the evaluation of the manuscripts:

• Focus and relevance in the field

• Method and work process

• Results and reflective discussion

• Approach (originality/innovativeness)

• Impression of the degree thesis as a whole and structure of thesis: Design, logical structure and necessary parts

• Readability and flow

• Source reference apparatus

• Quality of language

Evaluation of the oral presentation and defense (10/20)

Evaluation of the oral presentation and defense (10/20) as an average of the marks given by JEB members (excluding the supervisor and co-supervisor if members of JEB).

JEB is composed of at least four members and includes at least one member of the JCB.

JEB might also include the Program Coordinator and/or the Local Coordinators, members of the External Advisory Board, members of the EMOTION academic staff, members of other Universities involved in the internship and members of companies and other Institutions.

The exact composition of the JEB will be communicated to the student at least one week before the oral presentation.

Final grade

The final grade is minimum 10/20 and maximum 20/20 and is converted into local marks by the Universities issuing the double degree.

If the minimum score of 10 is not obtained, the student has to enroll for an extra year and repeat the final elective project according to JCB directions.

The exact modalities of the evaluation are likely to be modified during the preparation of the examination schedules, depending on the practical constraints with which the faculty administration may be confronted, or in the event of illness / force majeure / encroachment with an internship.
