Writing together
- The assignment is submitted as one Master's thesis and is graded as one assignment.
- The students write and submit a collective project plan
- Both students will receive the same grade on their common thesis.
- Students writing together can write a 50% longer assignment than those who write alone.
- Students writing together will have 50% more (common) supervision than those who write alone.
- The content is considered more stringent. There are greater demands on the quality of a master's thesis with two authors than with one.
- The censors will be informed that there are two authors.
- Both students must state in the assignment that it is written by two authors who have made equal contributions. This can be done in the preface.
- If there is an appeal against the grade, there is individual right of appeal, which means that one of the authors can complain about their grade, without affecting the co-author's grade.
Each student has to submit their thesis in DUO and when submitting a group thesis, tic the box to register it. The open research archive (DUO) will be able to connect the identical thesis to the collaborating students.
