Use case

To finish a program a participant needs to complete various elements such as courses or evaluations. As an educator you may also require them to write a thesis as a proof of their knowledge they acquired during the program. You can capture this requirement using the thesis element.

Thesis element

A thesis element can be added by clicking "Thesis" after clicking "+ Element" from a program edition.

After enrolling a participant, a thesis element will also be added to their personal program.

You can record various information about the thesis, e.g. title, supervisor and abstract. You can also grade it and pass it like most of the other elements.

Use the grade of a course enrollment

Instead of grading the thesis manually, you can also specify that the thesis should get the same grade as a course enrollment by linking a course enrollment to the thesis element on the personal program.

Link a supporting course

As an educator you might also help your participants to write their theses with a supporting course.

You can automatically enroll the participants of your program to this supporting course by linking the thesis element to it. These enrollments will be automatically linked to the thesis elements on the personal programs as well.

What a thesis element can and cannot do

A thesis element can:

• Record various information about the thesis, e.g its title, abstract, supervisor
• Store the digital format of the thesis
• Be passed
• Be graded (either manually or through a linked course enrollment)
• Automatically enroll participants in a supporting course
• Prevent autocompletion of a program. If a thesis element is part of a personal program, it should be completed for the program to autocomplete.
  

Note: there are some restrictions about the attached file: its size must be less then 50MB and the allowed extensions are: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .odt, .odm, .rtf.

A thesis element cannot:

• Be added to a personal program as 'extracurricular activity'. It can only be part of a personal program when linked from the edition.
• Be added twice to a program edition
