BSc Referaat
Most BSc projects carried out at FMT, are part of the student conference series Twente Student Conference on IT. Some of the BSc projects carried out at FMT fall outside this student conference series -- for instance those that were carried out by students of other programmes than Computer Science. In the list of completed BSc projects, below, the latter ones are grouped under "Non-TSConIT BSc projects".
LITERATURE
In this course, we use the following documents:
- BSc Referaat Survival Guide: how to write your BSc thesis in 7 steps
- Check list: where you can check a paper of yourself or your peers for quality and common mistakes
- BSc 7 steps: visual overview of the 7 steps
