10 Assessment
Thesis Assessment
When you have submitted the final version of your thesis to Wihi Plagiarism Check, your supervisor will check the text similarity and assesses and evaluates the work.
A written thesis is evaluated on the scale of 0–5 based on Jamk’s common assessment criteria. The supervisor, i.e the principal thesis tutor and the 2nd examiner will produce an assessment statement and give grade for the thesis. The commissioner’s statement (client’s feedback) is acknowledged in the grading, if it is available at the time of grading. The maturity test must be written (or the exemption must be approved) and the self-assessment must be submitted before the grading.
After the grading the supervisor approves the thesis assessment phase in Wihi. Please note that “thesis has been evaluated” status in Wihi means only that the assessment is done. You will only be able to see the assessment after the work is published and archived.
When the thesis has been evaluated, your supervisor gives you a permission to publish the work in Theseus.
- Publish your thesis in the Theseus (see chapter 11 Publishing).
- Copy the link from Theseus to Wihi (see chapter 11 Publishing)
The thesis supervisor will accept the link and archives the work and other documents. After that you can download the assessment for your own use.
Appeal
If you are dissatisfied with the assessment of your thesis, you may lodge an appeal. An appeal concerning the grade awarded for the thesis must be submitted in writing and addressed to the principal thesis tutor. The appeal must be done within 14 days of the date when you received the grade to Peppi.
If the assessors have not reached a unanimous decision on the assessment, the assessment decision is made by the unit’s Bachelor’s thesis work group or Jamk’s Master’s thesis work group. In this case, the appeal is sent to the chair of the thesis group.
If you are dissatisfied with the decision of the thesis work group, you can file a request for a revised decision with Jamk’s board of examiners. The request for a revised decision and its appendices is addressed to Jamk’s board of examiners.
You can no longer lodge an appeal after you have submitted your degree certificate application or after you have received your degree certificate.
Lodge the appeal against assessment using the form on the Electronic services page (Electronic applications and forms > Request for assessment review Teacher of Thesis Work Groups).
