eGraduEng: Supervisor

The end of the supervision process - the beginning of the evaluation process

Before the supervision process ends

Check that the thesis has undergone language response and that other formalia is fulfilled.

The supervision process ends

The supervisor makes a final review of the manuscript and gives permission for it to be submitted for assessment. A thesis is regarded as submitted for assessment and the supervision process ends when the student has submitted the thesis for plagiarism control.
Simultaneously, the student shall fill out the form for electronic publication of the thesis.

With the permission of the Head of Department, a student can start the evaluation process also without permission from the supervisor, and in that case the supervisor does not participate in the evaluation process.

The process continues as follows - the role of the supervisor is of great importance:

  1. The supervisor informs the student about the start of the evaluation process (see TEMPLATE FOR INFORMATION1)
  2. The student submits his/her thesis for plagiarism checks and fills out the form for electronic publication of the thesis 
  3. The supervisor examines the results of the similarity report of the plagiarism check
  4. The supervisor informs the student of successful plagiarism checks and sends the thesis to thesis evaluation (see TEMPLATE FOR INFORMATION2)

Instructions for using Turnitin for plagiarism check

The supervisor makes an assignment in Moodle where the students submit their thesis for evaluation. In the settings for the assignment, activate the Turnitin plugin, click "Index all submissions" and "Allow students to view the similarity report". At Notify graders about submissions, choose Yes, then you will get an e-mail when a student sends in his/her thesis.
