These guidelines1 are aimed at students at the UAS Grisons who
are writing a scientific coursework or degree thesis as part of their degree
programme. It provides assistance and includes recommendations on the search
for a topic, the formulation of an individual thesis, research questions and
core objectives, research practice, the structure and writing of the thesis/coursework,
the use of artificial intelligence as well as correct citation and plagiarism
avoidance. In addition, the formal criteria of a scientific paper can also be
found in the guidelines. If there are any subject specifics, they can be taken
from chapter 8.
If you have any uncertainties or questions,
your supervising teacher(s) will be happy to help you.
