Evaluation of a Written Thesis

Examiners are asked to evaluate the thesis in myThesis, according to the criteria in the respective thesis examiner report for a Master's or Doctoral thesis. For an example of the criteria, please see the forms: see: Master's Examiner report form ; Doctoral Examiner report form (note these forms are now integrated in myThesis).

Examiners provide an overall judgment of 'passed' or ‘not passed’, in addition to a written report. For Master's students, this evaluation determines whether or not the thesis is ready for final submission, even if minor changes are recommended. For Doctoral candidates, this evaluation determines whether or not the candidate is ready to proceed to the oral defence.

If the thesis meets the general criteria for the degree sought, as well as those listed on the examiner's report form it should be evaluated as 'Passed', even if some changes are recommended.

If the overall judgement is 'Passed', examiners are asked to provide:

• A report that includes any recommendations for minor revisions to the thesis (i.e., stylistic or editorial changes that can be completed in three weeks or less).
• For doctoral theses, External Examiners who will not be at the oral defence must also provide a list of questions to be asked of the candidate at the oral defence.

An evaluation of 'Not Passed' should be given if:

• the need for a new study, experimentation, or significant additional research or reformulation.
• the need to address major problems with the presentation of the work. Stylistic or editorial changes are not normally considered to be major revisions, but if the quality of the presentation is so poor that extensive rewriting is required, the thesis should not be passed.
• At least one of the Criteria for the Evaluation of the Thesis (see Master's Examiner report form ; Doctoral Examiner report form ) is judged as unsatisfactory.

Examiners are asked to identify required changes clearly in their reports. The supervisor or another designated person will ensure that the student corrects the thesis and that it appropriately reflects the examiners' suggestions for revisions prior to re-submission of the thesis.

The candidate will normally revise and re-submit the thesis for re-assessment, usually by the same examiner. If/when review of the revised thesis is required, the Thesis Unit will contact the initial examiner to determine their availability. In rare cases, a revised thesis may be sent to a new examiner if the first examiner is not available to re-examine the thesis. For more, please see Thesis examination failures.

If the revised thesis is again ‘not passed’, the student will be withdrawn from the University unless the decision is reversed through an appeal to the Hearing Committee (Bias, Error, or Misrepresentation ).

Despite some standard thesis examination guidelines having been established by institutions, examination of theses by individual examiners was known in the 1990s and early 2000s to be an irregular and idiosyncratic process that could delay completion of candidature. This chapter reviews research that established this disappointing position about issues in the examination process and what happened a decade after this initial situation. It then proposes some standard procedures to make sound thesis examination procedures for institutions and examiners. These procedures cover many issues that affect the thesis examination process like the definition of a degree, selection of examiners, criteria to evaluate the contribution of the research, and proposals for future policies and practices.

The EULER online PhD in Monitoring and Evaluation (currently offered in partnership with EUCLID) is the only doctoral degree program offered in active partnership with an institution that is itself an intergovernmental   treaty-based institution (EUCLID / EULER & Institute).

To master monitoring and evaluation means to be able to manage and oversee complex programs with external funding sources. M&E is defined as:

Monitoring and Evaluation  ( M&E ) is used to assess the performance of projects, institutions and programs set up by governments, international organisations  and  NGOs . Its goal is to improve current and future management of outputs, outcomes and impact. Monitoring is a continuous assessment of programs based on early detailed information on the progress or delay of the ongoing assessed activities. [1]  An evaluation is an examination concerning the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and impact of activities in the light of specified objectives.

Moreover, EUCLID is an academic partner of other intergovernmental organizations lacking degree-granting authority such as  LLPI  and  CAFRAD . Remarkably, EUCLID’s associated MBA (Sustainable Development) has been consistently ranked in the world's top 20.

This PhD degree program was officially designed for and by senior civil servants over 4 continents. It is also highly relevant to managers and executives working for multinational companies.

The EULER online PhD in monitoring and evaluation offers a strong coursework core capped with a dissertation and associated project. Graduates can expect to complete the program transformed and enhanced in their ability to make a contribution difference in global project evaluation but also in academia (university faculty positions).

Academic Presentation

OECD governments and international organizations play a vital role in today’s global and complex international development scene. These governments and organizations fund complex development programs that call for rigorous and professional monitoring and oversight. The employment opportunities in this field are vast, exciting and geographically diverse.

The EULER+EUCLID PhD in monitoring and evaluation program is the program you need to obtain the skills necessary to become a desirable and valuable asset for employment with these governments (often through their development agencies like SIDA) as well as international organizations (such as the World Bank or AfDB) and universities: you will receive advanced training in project management and auditing, project monitoring, relevant IT tools, etc.

Although spending 2 years in Geneva or Washington DC is exciting and possibly the best approach for those who can take the campus-based route, this program has the advantage of being offered completely online, with a very low tuition designed to make international careers possible for residents to developing countries.

Within certain parameters, the EULER+EUCLID Online PhD in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is customizable, with elective courses focusing on:

• Global Business Leadership
• Management and Marketing applicable to NGOs and IGOs
• Project Management within IOs
• IO role in Sustainable Economic Development
• Governance and leadership of Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
• International Law and Treaty Law for IGOs and NGOs.
• Public and Global Health modules
