Chapter 11: Minor Thesis/Project 56 • lettered in gold on the front and spine, starting from the top and reading downwards as shown below: The cover of the thesis/project should be similar to the spine except that you might need to use a shorter version of the title on the spine; the cover should display the long official title. An example cover is: Using a Deductive Database for Database Mining A. B. Ng M App Sc(IT) 2006 RMIT University Figure 5: Spine of Minor Thesis/Project USING A DEDUCTIVE DATABASE FOR DATABASE MINING Alfonso Bradley Ng Master of Applied Science (Information Technology) 2006 RMIT University Figure 6: Cover of a Thesis/Project One copy of your thesis/project will be handed to your supervisor, another will be retained by the School and the third copy will be handed to the library. The loose-leaf copy of the thesis may be published as a School technical report.
11.3.17 Intellectual Property 11.3.18 Guidelines to Examiners of a Minor Thesis 11.3.19 Guidelines to Examiners of a Minor Project Chapter 11: Minor Thesis/Project Subject to any employment relationships between the University and a student or any provision under the next paragraph, any intellectual property created by a student is owned by that student. Where a student contributed to the development of intellectual property as part of a research or other project involving other students or members of staff or uses existing University intellectual property, the contributors to the creation of the intellectual property associated with that project will be recognised. Where a student is involved in a project or specific commission in respect of which the University or any party to an agreement with the University has provided funds, equipment, facilities or supervision the University may require the student to be a party to an intellectual property and/or confidentiality agreement before commencement. The University may require that public access to a thesis be restricted for a specified period to enable the student, the University and any outside funding bodies to benefit commercially from the results of a research project. The following are the criteria which the examiners will use to assess your thesis. 1. Is the thesis written according to the guidelines described in this document? 2. Is there an adequate summary? 3. Is there an adequate literature survey? 4. Is the thesis relatively self-contained? 5. Are the results presented in a proper scientific manner? 6. Is there an adequate conclusion? 7. Is the problem and background clearly defined? 8. Is the approach to be followed in solving the problem and the objectives clearly defined? 9. Does the thesis demonstrate a general understanding of the field of study? 10. Is the work done original? That is to say, is the work that of the candidate and does the work constitute something that has not been done before? Original work can include that which verifies an existing theory in a new situation. 11. Is the work a contribution to the field of study? 12. Has the work shown a development in the application of knowledge? 13. Does the thesis demonstrate the candidate’s ability to undertake systematic supervised enquiry? The following are the criteria which the examiners will use to assess your project. 1. Is the project written according to the guidelines described in this document? That is: • Is there an adequate specification? • Is there an adequate literature survey (where relevant)? • Is there an adequate design? • Was a proper testing regime employed? • Is there an adequate conclusion? 2. Is the problem and background clearly defined in the introduction? 3. Does the project demonstrate the candidate’s ability to undertake systematic supervised project work to a high standard? 4. Is the program relatively free of bugs? 5. Is the user manual satisfactory? Examiners will not be expected to make a judgement of whether the project is a worthy piece of work, rather, they should pass a project on the basis that the specification of the problem (and its value) has been determined by the supervisor. The examiner’s role is to determine if the work has been done professionally and to a high standard. Usually, there will be a two stage process: • First, the examiner will read and possibly comment on the documentation • Next, the examiner will take a “test-drive” of the software. The test drive may or may not involve the student. At some stage, the examiner may choose to test the software in the presence of the student and supervisor. 57
