Rahmenrichtlinien für Bachelorarbeiten

A bachelor's thesis involves working on a topic with written preparation together with an oral presentation of the results. The student should show that he/she is able to work on a Computer Science topic based on scientific methods within a given period of time. The task of a bachelor thesis can include, for example, the development of software, hardware and proof or a literature search. The bachelor thesis is included in the curriculum along with other courses in the 6th semester.

2.1 Assignment of topics Every professor, but also every PhD researcher of the Institute of Computer Science who has already taught independently (not only exercises), can assign a topic as a supervisor. Topic suggestions of the student can be taken into account. The student first searches for a supervisor (e.g. in the office hours of lecturers or before or after lectures) and then registers at the examination office before starting the work (without specifying a topic, but with the assignment of a supervisor). This countersigned registration identifies the student as someone who can begin a Bachelor thesis.

After an informal agreement on a topic, the student draws up a work plan in consultation with the supervisor. For this phase about 1 month of part-time work (3 ECTS points) is allocated. For the work plan, the topic should therefore have been already researched in adequate depth. Also, the subsequent work should have been carefully planned. The result ("proposal") should adequately represent this activity by the depth of content and completeness of the considered aspects. It should contain the following elements: Description of the task to be worked on, motivation of the work, explicit formulation of the objective, description of the work to be carried out in order to achieve the desired goals. Additionally, an appropriate timeframe plan, as well as an outline of a preliminary structure of the written work must be included. If the candidate and the supervisor agree on the work plan, the formal application can be made.

2.2 Supervision The level of the bachelor thesis is aligned with the study contents up to the 5th semester. The required knowledge and its research methods should be clarified before the thesis is green lit.

The supervisor will ensure that the Bachelor thesis can be completed in the intended time. He or she will be available for consultation during the entire period of work and will check the progress of the thesis at regular intervals. If problems arise, he/she will intervene and act as a guide if it turns out that the topic cannot be completed in the intended form or if there is a risk that the completion time specified in the examination regulations will be exceeded.

The supervisor will provide assistance with the written work well in advance of the submission date. Any deficiencies related to the work will be pointed out.

The student is also entitled to support for the presentation. The supervisor advises on the selection of suitable presentation materials and will point out any frequently made mistakes. He/she should offer the possibility of a shortened practise presentation. It could be the case that this may turn out to be a suitably comprehensive presentation and therefore be the graded presentation (the evaluation of the presentation will be included in the evaluation of the Bachelor thesis).

2.3 Duration The prepared work plan is a formal requirement for registration at the Examinations Office. It must be countersigned by the supervisor and submitted to the Examinations Office for approval together with the application for a Bachelor thesis supplemented by the chosen topic title and the start date of the timeframe. An estimated project time of five months is allocated and runs from the date entered on the application. When agreeing on the planned duration, the one-month working time on the work planning must be taken into account accordingly. The Bachelor thesis is scheduled with a workload of 9 weeks of full-time work, which corresponds approximately to 50% part-time work over 5 months. This is about half of the time required for a Master thesis. The date of submission and the determination of the start of the official working time are documented by the supervisor on the registration form and forwarded to the examination secretariat. After a short time, the candidate will receive written notification from the Examinations Office of the resulting responsibilities.

The topic can be changed once only and within the first month after the start date.

2.4 Written work The written paper is the main representation of the work done. It documents the results of the work and the handling of problems that may have arisen. The Bachelor thesis is to be written in the style of a scientific paper. This includes in particular a summary, a structure and a list of the literature used in the thesis. If implemented in the framework of the thesis, the structure, working method and interfaces should be described precisely. Integration of software documents in the paper is not necessary. However, the software system including source code should be made available to the supervisor for review. In addition to the submission in paper form, the written paper should be made available to the supervisor in electronic form in a common format (PDF).

2.5 Oral presentation In the oral presentation, the student should present the main content of the work in a session of about 20 to 30 minutes. The student should demonstrate the ability to work on technical topics and to present such topics in an understandable way.  After the presentation, the student will be informed about his or her strengths and weaknesses and will be given suggestions for improvement.

2.6 Archiving The candidate commits to keeping a copy of the paper accessible at all times for at least 5 years after submission of the paper. The Computer Science Department or the University does not archive a submitted and accepted Bachelor thesis.

The performance in a Bachelor thesis is evaluated internally. Individual sections are assessed separately to determine the overall grade. Essentially, the following parts can be classified. The list is sorted by descending weighting:

Written Report

The written composition should make up the largest part of the overall mark. Here it should be assessed how well the student has succeeded in presenting the topic in an understandable way, i.e. how well he or she has been able to separate the essential from the unimportant. External appearance, illustrations, language and style are also included in the assessment.

Results of the work

Results of the work can be of various kinds: small software projects, hardware products, empirically obtained statements, a demonstration of evidence, a literature review or a mixture of these. The quality of the result to be assessed includes the methodological approach.

Working methods

Working methods are analysed to assess how purposefully and independently the topic was dealt with.

Presentation

The following as taken into account when presentations are evaluated; the preparation of content, presentation with the help of visual aids (e.g. slides), rhetorical qualities as well as the ability to cope with critical questions.

Since this presentation may be the first in the course of study, the focus here is on the purpose of the exercise. For this reason, this evaluation should only have a minor influence on the sub-grade.

The Bachelor examination regulations provide for a second assessment by a second examiner. This second examiner is selected at random by the examination board; however, suggestions from the student are permitted.

In Computer Science, due to the nature of the subject, it is not uncommon for bachelor's theses to be written in cooperation with other institutes or external to university departments (industry). Ii is common for students to write their thesis with a topic in conjunction with a corresponding institute related to their minor subject. In both cases, the topic must be carefully examined and competent "on-site supervision" must be ensured. Even if the bachelor thesis is written in the minor subject and an examiner of the minor subject takes over the supervision, a university teacher of Computer Science in Paderborn must have checked the topic and supervise the work from the beginning. It is not enough that the Computer Science supervisor only appears as a second assessor when the thesis is submitted.

If the bachelor thesis is to be carried out outside the university, e.g. at a company, care should be taken that the candidate is not subject to internal company constraints (deadlines, financial dependency, keeping company secrets). To this end, "academic freedom" must be upheld. The companies must be informed that the work (i.e. the written work) is generally accessible to the public. In special cases (e.g. the application for patents) a reasonable period of time until publication (blocking notice) can be accepted. All results from work must be made available to the supervisor or assessor.

Theses in the Department of Computer Science

Here you can find important information about theses in the department of computer science. [Photo: Pixabay]

The final thesis (Bachelor or Master) should show that the student is able to work independently on a complex task related to the study program and present it in a scientifically correct manner. It does not necessarily have to be the last module in the degree program, but there are guidelines as to when it can be started at the earliest (see Planning the Thesis).

In our study programs, there is no requirement that the thesis must be registered no later than X months after the last module exam. Nevertheless, please note that the thesis must be completed AND graded by the end of the maximum study period at the latest.

How does everything work around the thesis?

Requirements for the search for a topic.

• A thesis can only be started if at least 120 ECTS have been acquired in the Bachelor, and at least 60 ECTS in the Master. These ECTS must be entered on the transcript of records!
• The examiner of a thesis MUST be a professor of the Department of Computer Science. The examiner issues the topic and gives the final grade for the thesis.
• A second examiner (required for the master thesis) may come from another department / faculty of the University of Stuttgart.
• Often you will be assigned a supervisor who will give you advice and support and whom you can ask anything about your thesis. The supervisor is generally a member of the examiner's staff.
• It is possible to write a thesis in cooperation with a company. However, this is only possible if the examiner agrees. The company can at most take over the supervision, never the assignment of grades. However, since the orientation of the topics that come from companies often differs significantly from what is required as a thesis at the university, such constructs are very rare.

Finding a topic ...

To find a topic, it is best to contact the professors or their staff directly. Please make sure that you have taken courses from the department you are applying to. Otherwise, it may be difficult to work on a specific research topic of the department because you lack the prerequisites in this specific area. It may be a good start to take your own performance review and see what you particularly liked and where you also performed well on exams. These departments are then worth addressing first.

We try to post offers for theses as well as contact persons for the departments in ILIAS in the computer science marketplace.

If, after two to three months of intensive searching , you still have not found a topic, you can apply to the examination board for assignment of a thesis topic along with evidence of your unsuccessful search to date.

Registration of the thesis

It is important to note that you have to register your thesis with the Examinations Office no later than 1 month after starting the thesis (issue of the topic to you).

If a topic has been agreed upon, the secretary of the examiner prepares the computer science-specific contract including the license agreement (and, if applicable, confidentiality and/or language agreement) and hands out these documents to the student for proofreading. If possible, the time for proofreading and, if necessary, follow-up questions should not exceed one week. The contract documents are then signed by the student and returned to the secretary's office. If no publication is desired, the license agreement is crossed out. However, the document must remain with the contract.

At the same time, download the thesis application form from C@mpus. You can find it under the heading "My applications". If you are studying in the Master of Education, in the B.A. in Computer Science or in the B.A. minor in Computer Science, you will not receive this form from C@mpus, but directly from your exam officer. Please enter the following information in the form:

• the topic of the thesis in the original language and in English,
• the name of the examiner,
• the start date,
• sign the document and hand it in to the examiner's office.

The secretariat will have the document countersigned by the examiner and will then hand it back to you or send you a scan of it. You will then forward the document to the examination office as soon as possible. This can be done via the contact form and you can attach the scan or you can bring it personally to the examination office. There, the registration of the work will be entered into the system and confirmed on the form. Afterwards, please inform the examiner's office that the registration has been entered and that the work can now start. If the registration of the work is visible in the system (for the secretary's office), you will receive a copy of the contract.

By the way ...

• Theses can be registered at any time (even outside the exam registration period).
• In connection with the registration of the final thesis, the application for the issuance of the final documents must also be submitted. If you have any questions, please contact the examination office.

If you have any further questions, please contact the program manager or the examination board.

Submission of the thesis

The thesis must be printed and bound in the required number of copies (see contract). The following must be observed:

• For all printed copies, a rigid transparent film should be used as the front cover and, if possible, a black, solid cover at the back.
• The work must not be bound with a ring binding . Any type of adhesive or glue binding is permitted - preferably with a black linen booklet spine.
• The form requirements are summarized here once again.

To ensure that everything is printed, bound and handed in on time, you should collect the required number of covers from the examiner's office approximately 14 days BEFORE handing in your thesis.

In addition to the print copies the followings things have to be submitted:

• one separately printed title page of the thesis and
• the electronic version (pdf) of the thesis and an electronic version of the abstract in txt format. If you are studying in a German-language program and the thesis was written in English, both an English and a German abstract must be submitted. The electronic files can be sent to the examiner and the secretary's office by e-mail, on a stick or on a CD. The code generated by the work, if any, will be handed over separately to the examiner.

All printed copies and the electronic version must be handed in to the examiner's office by the deadline . After the examination by the secretary's office, you will receive the separate title page signed and date-stamped as proof of submission.

Here are once again summarized all the notes (in German only)

What if problems occur?

You forgot the register the thesis.

Subsequent registration of the thesis is possible for a maximum of one month (from the date of topic assignment). After that, this is only possible upon application to the examination board and only if there are valid reasons for which you are not responsible. Otherwise, the thesis will not be evaluated and you will have to look for a new topic.

Aborting the thesis and second attempt

The topic of the thesis can be returned once within the first 2 months of the processing time (Bachelor thesis) or within the first 3 months of the processing time (Master thesis) without a 5.0 being recorded. After that, this is no longer possible and an abandonment leads to a "Not Passed".

The thesis can be repeated once. If you have returned the topic at the first attempt and received a new one, this is no longer possible at the second attempt.

There is no time limit within which the second attempt must be registered. However, the thesis must be passed within the maximum period of study.

In general ...

If problems arise during the processing period that prevent you from devoting yourself to your thesis in a targeted manner, please contact your examiner and the examination board as soon as possible.
