In a term paper or final thesis, you deal with a topic and answer one or more research questions related to it. In doing so, you process knowledge from relevant literature, restructure it in relation to your research question, and develop a well-founded position with reference to the literature.<\/p>\n

In some papers, you present the results of your own empirical research, while in others you may, for example, develop a concept for a social institution. Your task is always to develop a comprehensible argumentation. More information on the different types of scientific papers can be found in this article: The different types of scientific papers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to these general features, there are further evaluation criteria for scientific papers, which the supervising lecturers set depending on the nature of your work. So, first ask the lecturers supervising your term paper or final thesis about specific requirements. The OWL<\/abbr> can clarify formal aspects, but it does not replace a conversation with your lecturers.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Be proactive and prepare for the meeting! First, read the seminar plan, as it often describes the expectations for the term paper. Some lecturers have also created their own guides, e.g.<\/abbr> for supervising the bachelor’s thesis. You should read these guides before a meeting. See also the article: Preparing for the first meeting with your lecturers<\/a>.<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

What you should clarify with your supervising lecturer<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Topic and research question of the paper<\/li>\n
  • Individual or group work<\/li>\n
  • Form of marking individual contributions (for group work)<\/li>\n
  • Suitable (research) methodological approach<\/li>\n
  • Timeline and submission date<\/li>\n
  • Type and extent of supervision, if applicable support from tutors<\/li>\n
  • Formal requirements, e.g.<\/abbr> word or page count, formatting<\/li>\n
  • Form of submission, e.g.<\/abbr> printed version, Moodle, by email, file format<\/li>\n
  • The most important evaluation criteria<\/li>\n
  • The use of gender-neutral language<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Lecturers usually use an evaluation grid to assess your scientific paper. We have been provided with the following two examples \u2013 depending on the type, purpose, and method of the paper, the evaluation criteria for your work may differ from these examples. Discuss the expectations for your specific paper with your supervising lecturers.<\/p>\n

    Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    What are the objectives of a term paper or thesis?<\/h3>\n

    In a term paper or thesis, you deal with a topic systematically and in depth, and answer one or more research questions related to it. You present your answer in a structured and comprehensible way.<\/p>\n

    According to which evaluation criteria is my work assessed?<\/h3>\n

    There are basic quality features of academic work, such as a logical structure, understandable and traceable argumentation, and the obligation to prove sources you have used. Additional evaluation criteria are set by the supervising lecturers.<\/p>\n

    Which criteria are used to assess my work?<\/h3>\n

    This can depend on the type of academic work you are doing. Always discuss the evaluation criteria with your supervisors, as expectations often differ between them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
