Study Guidebook This guidebook has been compiled for students that study at Åbo Akademi University in the Master s Degree Programme in Chemical Engineering. Its purpose is to give information about available courses, the study structure and about certain procedures. 1 The Faculty of Technology The Faculty of Chemical Engineering was founded in 1920, and had two professors and few students at that time. The Faculty has expanded a lot since those days and now has more than 20 professors, more than 200 teachers and researchers and a total of about 1300 students. The faculty changed its name in 2006 to the Faculty of Technology. The Faculty has two Departments: The Department of Chemical Engineering (Kemisk-tekniska avdelningen, KT-avdelningen) and The Department of information Technology (Avdelningen för informationsteknologi, IT-avdelningen). The decisions at the Faculty are made by the Dean and the Faculty Council (in Swedish fakultetsrådet), and the Department Council (in Swedish avdelningsrådet), which are elected for three years at a time. They consist of professors, teachers, researchers and students representatives. The Dean is the chairman of the Faculty Council. The Department Council makes e.g. the following decisions: - Coordinates and organises the teaching - Evaluates the theses The laboratories that take part in the programme are: - Analytical Chemistry AK Axelia I 2 nd floor (Analytisk kemi) - Heat Engineering VT Axelia I 3 rd floor (Värmeteknik) - Industrial Chemistry TK Axelia I 2 nd floor (Teknisk kemi och reakt.teknik) - Industrial Management IEK Axelia II 3 rd floor (Industriell ekonomi) - Inorganic Chemistry OOK Axelia II 4 th floor (Oorganisk kemi) - Organic Chemistry OK Axelia II 4 th floor (Organisk kemi) - Paper Coating and Converting PaF Gadolinia 4 th floor (Pappersförädling) - Physical Chemistry FyKe Gadolinia 3 rd floor (Fysikalisk kemi) - Polymer Technology TPK Axelia II 4 th floor (Teknisk polymerkemi) - Process Control RT Axelia I 3 rd floor (Reglerteknik) - Process Design & System Engineering AST Axelia II 3 rd floor (Anläggnings- och systemteknik) - Fibre and Cellulose Technology FCT Gadolinia 1 st floor (Fiber- och cellulosateknik) - Wood and Paper Chemistry 3PK Gadolinia 5 th floor (Trä- och papperskemi) (The abbreviations above are taken from the Swedish names of the laboratories) 1.1 The academic neighbourhood Åbo Akademi University is located in Åbo/Turku, the oldest city in Finland, close to the medieval Cathedral and many of the University s buildings are situated along the street Biskopsgatan. The Department of Chemical Engineering operates in two buildings: Gadolinia and Axelia (Axelia has two parts: Axelia I and Axelia II). Axelia I is the older part at the street Biskopsgatan and Axelia II is the newer part situated behind the older part. The two parts are connected to each other. You can find a map over the campus at the address https://www.abo.fi/student/media/2060/campuskarta2007a4.pdf 1.2 Registration for the study year In order to maintain their status as students at the university all students at Åbo Akademi University have to notify the Student Office of Åbo Akademi whether they are present or not for the study year. This should be done at the beginning of September, and is carried out every study year. The Student Office is located in a building called Gripen (Tavastgatan 13). 1

Certificates and copies regarding study achievements and other study related issues can be obtained from the Student Office in Gripen or from the Faculty Office located in Domus (Biskopsgatan 10). To obtain the examination certificate (Master of Science (Technology), please contact the Head of Student Affairs at the Faculty Office. 1.3 Faculty reception hours Head of Student Affairs Ulla Bäckström can be met at the Faculty Office (TkF: s kansli) in Domus, Biskopsgatan 10, from Monday to Thursday at 10 12 or by mutual agreement, telephone 02-215 4461, e-mail: tkf-studiechef@abo.fi. Faculty office Domus, Biskopsgatan 10, 20500 Åbo. Open 10 12 and 13 15. Office secretaries Maria Hertell-Jalava, telephone 02-215 4550, (study register) and Mary-Ann Hamberg-Ahola, telephone 02-215 4415, (coordinator of the exams). E-mail: tkf-kansli@abo.fi. Programme information relevant information can be found on the Internet: http://www.abo.fi/tkf/chemeng/. E-mail: chemeng@abo.fi. 1.4 Examinations Exams usually take place on Wednesdays during the whole study year. Students should register for exams at least five working days before the day of the exam; e.g. if the exam is on Wednesday, registration should be done one week before. You can find the exam dates for the majority of the MPCE courses on pages 41-42 in this guide. The registration is done on the address http://www.abo.fi/minplan for all courses that are in the course database MinPlan (they have course codes that contain 6 digits). For other courses the enrolment lists can be found on the organising laboratory s notice board, which is situated near or in the laboratory s facilities. The students are usually not allowed to bring all the course material to the exam, please see the course descriptions Allowed accessories for more information. You should always check with the course lecturer what material is allowed in each exam. The examination during the general examination day is four hours. There is often, however, an exam separately organised at the end of each course, in which only the course members can participate. The lecturer together with the students sets the date. The results of the exams are posted on the notice board of the laboratories. Normally they are posted no later than two weeks after the exam. There are only three opportunities to take an exam in the same course, after that the course lecturer should be contacted and the matter discussed. Registering for an exam counts as one of these three times even if the student does not show up at the actual exam occasion. The results of the courses are stored in Åbo Akademi s study register (STURE). An unofficial transcript can be requested on the Internet at the following address: https://www.abo.fi/personal/minsture/. Log in with your user name and password, fill in your student number in the empty field and click the button next to it. A transcript is then sent to your email address. If several weeks have passed since the course finished but the result is still not in the register, contact the lecturer of the course. Official transcripts can be requested from the Student Office (Tavastgatan 13) or from the Faculty Office (Biskopsgatan 10). The exams are usually held in three lecture rooms: Axel and Stina, situated in Axelia I, and auditorium A, situated in Gadolinia. On the day of the exam, a list is posted outside each of these auditoriums telling in which auditorium each student should be. Further instructions concerning the Examination procedures can be found on page 5. 1.5 Degree Certificate The student has to check that all studies needed has been done and registered in the study record. The Thesis is approved by the Department Council after the language check is completed. The degree is given by the Dean usually once a month during the periods. The student has to inform the Head of Student Affairs about taking out the degree at least one week in advance. 2

1.6 Computers The computers in Axelia's computer classes are available for all the students studying at the Faculty. A username, password and a license to use the computers are needed. These can be obtained from the Computing Centre (Datacentralen). With the password it is possible to log on to any of the computers situated in Axelia's computer classes. Remember to always log off after use, so that no one else can use your computer domain. 1.7 Libraries The Department has its own library on the ground floor in Axelia I, open from 8.00 16.00. It offers everything from scientific journals to dictionaries. All laboratories also have their own small libraries, which offer more specialized literature. The main library of Åbo Akademi is situated in the vicinity of Gadolinia, Domkyrkogatan 2-4, telephone 215 4180, and is open during the semesters from Monday to Thursday 9-20, Fridays 9-18, Saturdays 11-14. The main library offers reading facilities and a reference library. Certain books can also be borrowed, but have to be reserved in advance. The course book library, near the main library, Henriksgatan 9, telephone 215 4192, offers course books, which can be borrowed on site, and reading facilities. It is open from Monday - Wednesday and Friday 10-16, Thursday 10-18. To be able to borrow from the course library students need to have a student card (studiekort). This can be obtained from the Åbo Akademi student union office, Tavastgatan 22. The loan time for books is usually 2 4 weeks. The reading facility has one copy of each book in the course library. The books here can be borrowed over night or over the weekend. The book can be collected at 14.30 and has to be restored no later than 10.00 the next weekday. Home page of the main library: http://www.abo.fi/public/en/bibliotek 1.8 Career Services The Career Services at Åbo Akademi University (Arbetsforum), located at Henriksgatan 1 b (Agricola), provide information for both graduates and students. Their main task is to help students enter the labour market and to advice them on issues dealing with job-hunting. The Career Services offer employers direct access to highly skilled students and graduates. They work in close co-operation with the Career Services at the University of Turku, the Turku School of Economics and Business Administration and the Turku Employment Office. More information can be found on their website at http://www.abo.fi/arbetsforum/. 1.9 General information about studies General information about studies can be found on the Internet at the following address: http://www.abo.fi/undergraduate/. Especially the categories Student support services and Publications contain useful information. 1.10 Student activities The Student Union at Åbo Akademi University All students at Åbo Akademi University are required to be members of the Student Union (Åbo Akademis Studentkår), which takes care of its members interests in several ways. By being a member you receive a student card with which you obtain student discounts for trains, buses, hostels, students' restaurants, theatres etc. As a member you are also entitled to use the services of the Student Health Care Centre (Studenthälsan) at Kyrkvägen 13. The annual membership fee of the Student Union is 92 euro. 3

Kemistklubben The student activities at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering are lead by the student organisation for engineering and chemistry students, Kemistklubben vid Åbo Akademi r.f. It organizes both serious and nonserious events, varying from company and industry excursions to parties. The organisation has it s office beside Axelia s computer classes on the first floor in Axelia I and can be visited between 12 13 o clock every day, telephone 231 4362, e-mail: kk@abo.fi. The organisation sells some of the course handouts (kompendium). They can be purchased from Monday to Friday from 12.00-12.15, telephone 232 3819. 2 Study programme Åbo Akademi follows the so-called Bologna reform concerning studies and credits. According to the new degree structure starting in 2005, the studies will be measured in credits (cr (sp)) (in Swedish studiepoäng, sp). The programme has a large variety of courses. Each student has to make an individual study plan within May for the next study year with the computer program MinPlan, located at http://www.abo.fi/minplan/. The Master s Programme in Chemical Engineering has three major subjects: Process chemistry (AK, FYKE, OK, OOK, TK, TPK) Process systems engineering (AST, RT, TK, VT) Pulp and paper technology (3PK, PaF, FCT) The programme has a total duration of two academic years and accounts for 120 cr (sp), of which 30 cr (sp) is for the Master s Thesis. 2.1 Academic year The academic year is divided into four periods, two during the fall and two during the spring. These are the dates for the periods for the academic year 2009-2010: Period I: 31.8 23.10 Period II: 26.10 18.12 Period III: 11.1 12.3 Period IV: 15.3 28.5 2.2 The structure of the studies Master s Thesis (30 cr (sp)) Advanced studies (30 cr (sp)) Minimum 20 cr (sp) in major subject Intermediate studies (20 cr (sp)) Optional studies (15 cr (sp)) Compulsory module (20 cr (sp)) Language studies (5 cr (sp)) The programme starts with compulsory studies consisting of a compulsory module (20 cr) and language studies (Swedish 5 cr). Information about the language courses can be read on the website of the Centre for Language and Communication at http://www.abo.fi/csk/. The compulsory module represents the three specialization areas in the programme and contains the following courses: 4 Principles of Process Engineering, 7 cr Principles of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 5 cr Wood and Fibre Chemistry, 5 cr Academic Writing, 3 cr

After the compulsory studies the students select intermediate study courses according to their own interest. A minimum of 20 cr of intermediate studies is required. A minimum of 30 cr of advanced studies is required minimum of 20 cr within the subjects that belong to the major subject and 10 cr optional courses from other subjects. At least 6 cr have to be taken from the laboratory for which the Master's Thesis is undertaken. Additionally, there is a module of optional studies (15 cr). These studies can be any courses at Åbo Akademi, for example courses in languages, economics, and intercultural communication or additional courses within the Master s Programme. The Master's Thesis work accounts for 30 cr and is started in the second or third period of the second academic year. The Master's Thesis work is done for one of the participating laboratories. Contact a professor at the laboratory to discuss the Master s Thesis. 2.3 Examination procedures The faculty office manages most written examinations at the Department of Chemical Engineering centrally. Certain procedures have been created to ease the management of the examinations. This document is intended to explain these procedures and give you instructions about what you should do when you intend to take part in a written examination. Preparations The key to good grades is learning and preparation. Take part in lectures, read the material assigned for the course, do the exercises, ask questions and try to understand not only the details but also the general picture. Your preparations will naturally be different depending on the type of exam and on what you are allowed to bring to the exam. Enrollment You have to enroll for the exam in MinPlan. The enrollment begins one month before the exam and closes 5 work days (usually one week) before the exam. Registration for examinations in MinPlan Log on to MinPlan (http://www.abo.fi/minplan) Go to My Registrations (Mina anmälningar) which is the second tab to the right. Then choose Exam registrations (tentamensanmälningar), which is the tab in the middle Go to Find new exams (Hämta nya tentamina) in the left-hand menu Look for the course you would like to take the exam in. Look e.g. on the course name or code and press Search (sök) When you find the course you are searching for, choose the course by ticking the box beneath the Choose (Välj) column and then press Add (Lägg till) Make sure that the column Date of examination (Tentamensdatum) on the left shows the date for when you want to take the exam. Press Register/Enroll (Anmäl) for the course on the right date The following text will appear up to the right: [message] (meddelande): [Registration complete] (Tentamensanmälan utfördes) Some exams are not found in MinPlan. The enrollment list will then be placed on the notice board of the laboratory that arranges the course. You have to write your name and student number on the appropriate enrollment list no later than 5 work days before the exam (Wednesday at 13:15). If you intend to take part in two exams at the same day you must write an e-mail to tkf-kansli@abo.fi, containing information about which two exams you would like to take part in. You must also enroll for both exams in MinPlan. When and where The centrally managed exams are always arranged on Wednesdays. They start at 13:15 and end 4 hours later. They are usually arranged in auditorium Stina and Axel in Axelia and in auditorium A in Gadolinia. Find out where these places are! 5

You can find out which auditorium you will be in from lists posted on notice boards at the entrance to each of the auditoriums mentioned above. What to bring to the exam You should bring your own writing material and paper to write on as well as a calculator to all exams. You may also bring a dictionary. To some exams you are allowed or required to bring some specific material needed for the exam the course teacher will specify the material. To some exams you may bring any material with the exception of solutions to exercises and solutions old exam questions and to some exams you may bring all material. You may of course not use any kind of communication equipment like mobile phones or portable computers with wireless LAN. Rules in the exam room There are a number of rules you must follow during the exam. - Mobile phones must be turned off - You may not leave the exam room during the first hour (before 14:15) since others are allowed to arrive up until that time - You must sit at the place you have been assigned. The supervisor has a map with the sitting order. - If you take two exams simultaneously you must turn in your answers to the first exam before you get the papers for the second exam. You may choose which exam you want to take first. How to write the answers Begin by labeling the papers you write your answers on. All papers you return must at least have your name and student number on them. The supervisor has a box with printed labels that you can use. Attach the label on the top of the first page by wetting it like a postage stamp. You report your answers or solutions to the exam questions in the same way as you do in exercises. Write clearly and explain what you do. Turning in the exam papers After you have completed your work you check again that you have written your name and student number on all papers you intend to return. Leave your papers on the place where the supervisor tells you. Checking the results The teacher has two weeks time after the exam to go through and grade your exam papers. The results will then be posted on the notice board of the laboratory that arranged the course. The lists usually contain your student number only as identification and your grade as a number. The grade is either not approved or a number between 1 (lowest) and 5 (highest). Some courses are graded only as approved or not approved. You can also check your results in the student database through the Internet on the address: https://www.abo.fi/personal/minsture/ First you are asked to log on to the system. Use your normal username and password. You then write your student number in the assigned box and click on Beställ. You can choose to order the form in both English and Swedish. The results will be sent to you as an e-mail. 6

4 Åbo Akademi University Examination Instructions Approved by the Chancellor 26.1.1999 Content I General Information II Arrangements for Examinations III Participation in Examinations IV Grading and communication of results V Theses VI Appeal procedures VII Consideration of appeals by the Examination Board VIII Implementation of the instructions I General Information 1 Areas of application These instructions are to be applied to all course work undertaken at Åbo Akademi University. In these instructions course work is understood to include: the submission and assessment of a thesis, or other written papers which contribute to the final written work of a Bachelor s or Master s degree, as well as all written and oral assessments, formal examinations, lectures, and any other requirements, which are included in the curricula set by the University. Appeals concerning the assessment of licentiate dissertations or similar tests of scholarship and proficiency can be found in the Examination Regulations. Appeals concerning the assessment of Doctoral theses or similar tests of scholarship and proficiency can be found in the Instructions for the Public Defence of Doctoral Theses at Åbo Akademi University (30.6.2003) These regulations also apply to the official transfer of credits taken at other Finnish Universities, Foreign Universities and other Educational Institutions, which contribute to an academic qualification at Åbo Akademi University. The following directives concerning the Faculties, the Faculty Council, and the Faculty Deans, include sections that can also be applicable to the Independent Institutions and their Board of Directors and Principals. II Arrangements for Examinations 2 Examination Dates Examinations, which pertain to the study programmes organised by the University are conducted according to section 39 paragraphs 3 5 of the Examination Regulations. Examinations can be conducted as written examination or by other means. These instructions are applicable to all types of examinations. Written examinations are arranged on special examination dates, either by the department responsible for the study programme or jointly by several departments. Examinations can be organised outside of Åbo Akademi University, with the provision that the relevant examination regulations are adhered to. Examinations can also be organised outside of the standard teaching periods. The Faculties and Independent Institutions, responsible for the teaching of courses within their field, are obliged to arrange a sufficient number of examination dates, so that students can complete 31

their studies at the pace required by the degree programme. In addition, the possibility for students to continue their studies during the summer months must be facilitated. 32 3 Examination regulations (3.3.2006) Faculties and Independent Institutions can decide on the arrangements for examinations in more detail, especially those concerning the following matters the student s rights to participate in an examination the teacher s obligations to arrange the examination the procedure for registering for the examination the supervision of the examinations jointly arranged examinations late arrival at an examination the use of sanctioned support material during examinations the procedures in cases of suspected plagiarism. 4 Examination Supervisor (3.3.2006) At every examination, there is a person present who is responsible for the examination being conducted according to the conditions designated by the Faculty. The teacher of a course of study or any corresponding instruction should be the person responsible for examinations held in conjunction with that course. The Faculty or Independent Institution organising the examination appoints the person responsible for the examination on those occasions when a joint examination is arranged. It is the responsibility of the person in charge to ensure that a suitable room is reserved for the purpose of the examination and that the examination questions are available to the examination candidates. The person in charge should also make certain that the examination invigilator is aware of and acquainted with the arrangements concerning the examination, and that the completed examination answer papers are delivered immediately to the person marking the examination. If the test questions are not available on the examination day, despite the participant being correctly registered, the person in charge must take steps to organise a new examination date as soon as possible, and not later than one week, for those participants concerned. The person in charge should also bring this matter to the attention of the Faculty. 5 Examination Invigilators At each examination, one or more invigilators must be present. The person in charge should act as one of the invigilators or appoint another person. Alternatively, the invigilator can be a person specially appointed by the department organising the examination. The invigilator s task is to make sure that the Faculty s regulations regarding examinations are adhered to properly. It is especially important that the invigilator ensures that: the examination location is accessible to the candidates the examination papers are handed out without delay any seating or special arrangements are observed quiet is maintained the examination is concluded appropriately the answer papers are collected and forwarded to the person responsible for marking the examination, according to previous agreement the premises are securely locked after the examination 6 Complaints Procedures (3.3.2006)

Complaints raised against invigilators and examiners should be dealt with according to rulings 27-30 in the Administrative Procedure Act (434/2003) III Participation in Examinations 7 Examination Participation Students should be able to prove their right to participate in examinations with verification of their registration at the University for the term in question. Students must also be able to prove their identity, upon request. Students should register for examinations according to the regulations stipulated by the Faculty. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to inform the teacher of the need for any educational aids or support material during the examination. A student can be temporarily prohibited from taking an examination for which the student has repeatedly registered without then completing the examination. Students can also be denied the right to take an examination if the student has not completed the course work, which according to the Faculty, is deemed necessary in order to take part in this examination. The Faculty decides in more detail on these procedures. 8 Duration of examinations (3.3.2006) On the general examination days, when different examinations and proficiency tests can be completed, a time allowance of four hours is allocated. The length of other examinations on other occasions can be less than four hours with due consideration being given to the course unit that is to be examined. Students are not allowed to enter the examination room after the time set for the examination to begin. The time allotted for examinations must not be exceeded unless otherwise provided for in section11. 9 The Language of Examinations At Åbo Akademi University, the language used in examinations is Swedish. Regulations regarding the use of languages other than Swedish are detailed in the Degree Regulations. 10 Support and Aid Material during examinations Students may use aid material during examinations if this right is specified in the examination task or has been approved in some other way by the Faculty. Candidates are permitted the use of dictionaries during examinations, except in the case of language examinations and unless otherwise stated by the teacher. The use of mobile phones or other similar electronic technology is not permitted during examinations. (3.3.2006) 11 Disabled students (3.3.2006) Examinations for disabled students are arranged so that the differences between the student and the other candidates are compensated for without diminishing the quality of the examination requirements. The student should also take such measures, which can help to achieve this. However, when necessary, disabled students can be provided with separate examination dates and special arrangements. 33

12 Cheating and disturbances in examinations (30.6.2006) Cheating is considered to be the use by students of prohibited methods or aids in order to complete formal examinations or written assignments, which are not examinations. Disturbance of an examination is seen as such behaviour or occurrence in the examination room, which leads to the participants not being able to complete their assignments in a suitably calm atmosphere. If a student, during an examination, is found guilty of cheating, the invigilator should evict the person from the room immediately. If cheating takes place during or after the examination, or in a written assignment, the person responsible for the marking of the work must fail the student. If the examination is disturbed, the invigilator should take immediate action to ensure that the examination can continue in silence. A student, who in conjunction with an examination or the undertaking of a written assignment is guilty of an offence, can either be given a warning by the Rector, or be excluded from the university for a certain period by the Senate. Before a disciplinary matter is dealt with the student in question should be properly informed of the offence the complaint deals with, as well as being given an opportunity to be heard concerning the matter. IV Grading and Communication of results 13 The Examination process and the grading of examinations An examination or a test can be part of a process, which consists of different assignments that lead to a final grade. An examination can be marked as a complete entity or be partially approved pending a complementary examination. When a complementary examination is required, it should be organised so that there is no needless delay in a student s studies. 14 The basis for grading examinations (3.3.2006) Students should be provided with the opportunity to view their answer papers and be given the criteria used to grade the paper. The examiner marking the paper should explain, upon request, the basis on which the examination paper was assessed. 15 Grading scale (3.3.2006) Examinations are graded according to the Examination Regulations. The department responsible for a study period or study programme should make these known including the principles according to which the assessment of the modules course units will be combined to an overall grade. An examination grade that has been previously awarded cannot be lowered by re-taking examinations or by completing complementary examinations. 16 Examination results (3.3.2006) Examination results must be issued, as soon as possible, and no later than two weeks after the examination. The Dean of a Faculty may later grant an examiner additional time for evaluating the 34

examinations, if there are extenuating circumstances, but not in excess of three weeks. The results of any possible summer examinations should be made public by mid September at the latest. Examination results are made available and registered according to the decisions made by the University. If a teacher is not aware of the registration number of a student, an exception can be made and the name of a student, who has passed the examination, may be issued with the examination results. Examination results may only published on the Internet if neither the name nor the social security number of the candidate is revealed. The date of completion of a study module is deemed to be the date on which the final component is concluded. 17 Safekeeping of results (3.3.2006) Examination results are kept by the teacher, or in a place allocated by the teacher, for at least two months after the results have been made available. For examination results published between May 10th and August 31st the relevant period is counted from September 1st of the same year. If a student during this period expresses a wish to see their examination paper, an opportunity should be provided. During this same period, students are also entitled, at their own cost, to receive a copy of the examination paper. Teachers may wish to return the examination answers to the student for reasons of educational instruction, whereby all obligations of storage become void. 18 Making examination results public Individual examination answers are not to be made public without the authorisation of the student. With the teacher s permission examination answers may be used for the purposes of educational and research work, however, this must be done in a manner whereby the students identity is not revealed. 19 Credit Transfer Transfer of Credit decisions are communicated directly to the student. Credits that have been transferred are not subject to re-evaluation at Åbo Akademi University. In all other instances, rules for examinations and tests are applicable. 20 Registering of completed course work The Faculty office registers the approved and transferred credits into Åbo Akademi University s study register. The registration takes place within two weeks of the examination results being submitted to the Faculty office, or alternatively, the date on which the decision to transfer the credits took place. Examination results are archived for a limitless period. V Theses (30.6.2003) 21 Handing in of written course work 35

Theses are submitted to the teacher or the department responsible for the course, according to the curriculum, or by another manner previously agreed upon. In the case of uncertainty as to where a thesis should be handed in, it should be submitted to the Faculty office. Theses are handed in personally or by a person authorised by the student, and consequently at the student s own risk. If the document has been forwarded via a representative or by the postal services it is considered as having arrived the day it was handed over to the university. The person receiving the thesis should make a note of the date of submission, on the document. Students should keep a copy of the course work until it has been graded. If written work has not been handed in within the period set, the examiner has no obligation to grade it. (3.3.2006) 36 22 Grading and communication of results (30.6.2003) Groups of two or more students can carry out written course work together and a joint grade is awarded, applicable to all the authors. Each author s proficiency test for the Bachelor s thesis is examined in regards to language, together with the joint Bachelor s thesis, and is graded on its own. Where a Master s thesis is carried out by two or more authors, it should be executed so that the individual contribution of each person is clearly discernable in the text and can be graded separately. Written course work is graded and the results published in the same way as other examinations. Regarding the grading of theses for the Bachelor s degree and Master s degree, see the University Regulations on Internal Administration, the Degree Regulations and other Faculty decisions. The results of the grading are published in the Faculty Council s minutes as well as certified verification being supplied if required by the student. (3.3.2006) VI Appeal Procedures 23 Request for an Appeal (3.3.2006) An appeal made in the case of theses within advanced studies, or decisions that have been made concerning the transfer of credits should be presented in writing to the Faculty Council. A student, who is dissatisfied with the grading of course work, can make an appeal either orally or in writing, to the teacher who marked the examination. An appeal should be presented within 14 days of the results being announced during which the student has had the opportunity to consider the assessment and the criteria on which the thesis has been evaluated. An appeal ruling is to be dated and signed in the examination documentation and the student provided with a copy. 24 Transferring of appeals to the Examination Board (3.3.2006) A student, who is displeased with a decision made in the case of an appeal, can submit the matter to the Examination Board within 14 days of the student receiving the appeal decision. A request from a student that the matter be submitted to the Examination Board should be submitted in writing to Åbo Akademi University administration offices in Åbo or Vasa. VII Consideration of appeals by the Examination Board 25 The Examination Board

One or more Examination Boards exist for the further consideration of matters regarding the grading of studies. An Examination Board consists of a chairperson and two additional members, and each member should have a personal substitute. The chairperson and the substitute appointed should be permanent professors at the University. One of the members and the appointed substitute should be lecturers at the University, while the other member and the substitute should be students of the University. Examination Boards can be appointed for a specific matter or for a mandate period of no more than three years. (3.3.2006) 26 Board meetings The Examination Board should meet within 30 days of a matter being submitted to the Board or after the confirmation and validation of a decision by the Senate regarding the appointment of an Examination Board for a specific matter. The Examination Committee forms a quorum when all members are present. The Examination Committee can also invite in a secretary. In the event of a renewed vote, the same procedure as during a collegial tribune is observed. 27 The Enquiry Before the Examination Board can reach a decision regarding any matter, a written explanation of the issue should be requested from the teacher, examiner or Faculty Council, whose decision is the basis for the appeal. The student should be offered the opportunity to reply to this explanation in writing. 28 Board rulings and denial of appeal Rulings on the issue presented to the Board are communicated to the concerned parties in writing. Appeals against the rulings of the Examination Committee are prohibited according to section 35 paragraph 2 of the University Law (645/1997). VIII Implementation of the instructions 29 Availability of instructions The instructions should be sent to every concerned department within Åbo Akademi University so that the contents can be made available to the teaching staff, and students. It should also me made public in electronic form. 30 Implementation The instructions come into force on the 26th of January1999, and at the same time, the Examination Instructions of May 1st 1992 become void.
