This manual contains important information about the structure and regulations of the graduation process. The manual is part of the official regulations and is sent to all students who enroll for a Master 3 studio at the start of the semester. In the Academic year 2017-2018 a compulsory scan on plagiarism with the use of Turn-it In is introduced. In the implemented system the students first get the possibility to do the check themselves and they have to hand in a final version before the P4 presentation. The result of this plagiarism scan will be assessed by the involved mentors. Section 1 provides a scheme of the setup of the evaluations and a scheme explaining the responsibilities of everyone involved per evaluation. Section 2 contains information about the quorum and the appraisal Section 3 provides information on the ‘cum laude’ and ‘honorable mention’ regulations. The appendices contain more detailed information on several aspects, a.o.: details on the subjects to be assessed, graduation plan, reflection requirements, an example of a graduation contract and the references to official regulations which this manual is part of. Starting the academic year 2014-2015 the digital graduation registration is used. All involved teachers have access to the information in the SharePoint application that is used for this registration. The registration includes personal information of the student, the composition of the mentor team, registration for the P2 and P5 and the registration of all assessments. Each semester Education and Student Affairs adds the names of the new enrolled Master 3 students to this digital registration. The involved coordinators, mentors and delegates of the board of examiners can add additional information and notes to the file of each student. For all graduates the main mentor is responsible for completing the digital assessment registration. Version 1 Page 3 Geomatics for the Built Environment – Graduation Manual 2018-2019 1.0 Graduation process 1.1 Admission Students who enter the graduation programme without having completed all common courses (60 EC) should take in mind that they will only be admitted to the P2 if they have completed all common courses of the first year with the exception of 1 course of 5 EC maximum. 1.2 Evaluations In the course of the graduation process two obligatory progress reviews (P1 and P3) and three formal assessments (P2, P4 and P5) take place.

The assessment and conclusion are registered on the P2 assessment form in the digital Graduation Registration (Sharepoint) by the Main Mentor. If a student passes, the chance to graduate within six months is realistic. If the assessment result is “retake”, the student does a retake within two weeks, and at result “failed” the student will have to register again for the next P2 period for a new P2 evaluation. The result “passed” is considered to be an interim examination result and has a validity of 1 year. In case of a “retake” the assessors are convinced that a realistic chance exists the student will be able to pass in 2 weeks. Specific improvement points are described at the assessment form. The main mentor agrees a date and time for the retake with the student, the second mentor and the Delegate of the Board of Examiners. If the mentors and Delegate are not satisfied with results at that date, a “failed” is given, than applies the rule stated under “failed”.

Quorom for P2: Main Mentor, Second Mentor and Delegate of the Board of Examiners. Quorum for P4: Main Mentor, Second Mentor, Co-Reader and Delegate of the Board of Examiners Quorum for P5: Main Mentor, Second Mentor and Delegate of Board of Examiners. Absence of the Delegate of Board of Examiners The Board of examiners appoints Delegates of Board of Examiners and Deputy Delegates for all evaluations. If the Delegate of Board of Examiners will be unable to attend an evaluation, she/he asks the Deputy Delegate of Board of Examiners to replace her/him. The Deputy Delegate of Board of Examiners is registered in the digital graduation registration by the Secretary of the Education and Student Affairs. Absence of a Mentor Known in advance If it is known in advance that a Mentor will be unable to attend, a presentation must be held for that Mentor prior to the evaluation. The assessment and signature of the Mentor concerned must be written down with comments and feedback. This letter must be given to the Delegate of the Board of Examiners in a closed envelope or send by email. At the appraisal this assessment will be taken into account by the other mentors for determining the final assessment. Unexpected absence At unexpected absence there will be looked by the main mentor and other present mentors for an exam authorized deputy within the same academic field. The Secretariat of the board of Examiners is also informed by the main mentor or delegate of the board of examiners about this absence. The evaluation should preferabily be continued and the final assessment should be determind after hearing the absent mentor. The determination for a GO / NO-GO (P4) or the registration of the marks on the final mark lists (P5) only take place after consulting the absent Mentor by phone. If this isn’t possible final judgement at the P4 is postponed. At the P5 a “pass” is registered for the involved academic field. In both cases a meeting with the absent Main Mentor/Daily Supervisor takes place on the shortest possible term, to determine a final conclusion. At doubt or on request of the student, it may be decided that an extra presentation must be held. Problems in the appraisal It may occur that the appraisal does not lead to an assessment. The Delegate of Board of Examiners informs the student on this situation and explains the applied procedure and the corresponding terms. Subsequently he / she collects the presented products and presents the problem to the chairman of the Board of examiners. The chairman of the Board of examiners will reconvene the mentor team and the Delegate of Board of Examiners for a reappraisal, which he will chair, in which he will attempt to achieve consensus. In case of failing he will make a final decision.

Time planning A scheme of the division of the workload of the graduation research in the timeframe. The submitted Graduation document might be rejected if the planning is unrealistic. A format for the Graduation plan is available on-line, see: Graduation Plan. Version 1 Page 21 Geomatics for the Built Environment – Graduation Manual 2018-2019 Appendix 3 Plagiarism scan P4 The Plagiarism Scan on the Graduation documents is implemented for all Master Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences students (all tracks, with exception from Architecture) and Master Geomatics students. The Plagiarism Scan has been integrated in Brightspace (see: https://brightspace.tudelft.nl/d2l/home/47493) and is used to guarantee the authenticity of student’s graduation work at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The TurnItIn tool in Brightspace is used for this purpose. The tool will make it easier for the student and mentors to check the work of a student on originality and plagiarism. It is the responsibility of the main mentor to discuss the TurnIt-In Plagiarism report of his/her student at his/her P4. Each student will upload his or her thesis, report or other graduation work with text at latest one week before the P4 presentation. The mentors and delegates will be enrolled by Education and Student Affairs in the Plagiarism Brightspace course. The student has the possibility to upload provisional versions of his document as often as he/she wants for plagiarism feedback. This feedback is only meant for the student. The submissions and results in the ‘Provisional Version’ folder are there just for the student to try things out. The final version of the P4 document will be submitted in the final version folder of the plagiarism scan. The final submission folder will only allow one submission for each student and the plagiarism feedback will only be visible for mentors. The student will not be able to see his/her score. After admission to the P4 the student receives detailed instructions by email about how does the Plagiarism Scan works. Assessment of result It is the responsibility of the main mentor to determine whether the results of the plagiarism scan in the final folder are an indication of actual plagiarism. In all cases, suspicion of plagiarism or not, the mentor should share the findings with the student, the other mentors and the delegate at the P4 assessment. If there is a suspicion of intentional plagiarism, the mentor should discuss this with the student and notify the Board of Examiners afterwards. About TurnIt-In: TurnItIn has certain limitations concerning the documents which will be uploaded. The students will be informed about the limitations, the meaning of similarity scores and plagiarism in general. Version 1 Page 22 Geomatics for the Built Environment – Graduation Manual 2018-2019 Appendix 4 Reflection P5 The reflection is a standard component of a scientific thesis. The reflection is NOT a separate document or a distinct chapter, but integrated in the Introduction and Conclusions of the thesis in the form of text, with diagrams and sketches for purposes of illustration and clarification. In this reflection the student uses a short substantiated explanation to account for the results of the research in the graduation phase (product, process, planning). Depending on the research, reflection on a number of the following aspects should be included (you may choose in which order). Aspect 1 The relationship between the methodical line of approach of the Master Geomatics and the method chosen by the student in this framework. Aspect 2 The relationship between the conducted research and application of the field geomatics. Aspect 3 The relationship between the project and the wider social context.
