Before the students hand in their master’s theses for evaluation, it should go through the language response process.See the Language Center for more information on language response.
The Accessiblity directive ( (306/2019) states that master's theses should be accessible for people with disabilities, as they are available on the web. See instructions for making your Word and PDF documents accessible to people with disabilities.
Check with your students that they have gone through language response and checked that their thesis document is accessible.
Also check that the students, if they have used AI in their thesis, have documented it correctly - see information in the intranet about AI in studies, but also note if your field of science provides specific up-to-date instructions on it.
