Section headings come in three levels
. Section headings are preceded by numbers that indicate whether the
section is a main section (e.g. 3), subsection (e.g. 3.2), or
a sub
-
subsection (e.g. 3.2.1).

A thesis will typically have the following outline:

it is addressed, and what the final results are, in such a way that this outsider can in principle
redo
the
work and arrive at the same results.

An important aspect in grading a thesis
concerns the extent to which the argumentation used for the
above is based on scientific facts
1
and principles. In addition, the following guidelines apply:
6.
Sufficient, but the project did not progress as well as expected, the overall performance is
someh
ow sub
-
optimal
.
7.
Average performance (default), the project has been carried out as expected
8.
Good performance, the work is better
than
average, either because of the quality or the
quantity of the work
.
9.
Very good performance, the results are beyond expectat
ions, particularly there is a scientific
breakthrough that was not anticipated at the start of the project
.
10.
Extraordinary performance, a clear scientific breakthrough, the result has publication
potential

Use the Vancouver
-
style for refer
ences. This means that you make
references in the running text with
numbers in square brackets [2]. Multiple references go like this [1, 3].

As an example: stating that ‘due to time constraints the work is not fully finished’ is not a scientific argument
and best omitted.
