Degree projects, Faculty of Technology

The faculty has a shared room on Moodle that all students in their final year of undergraduate programs have access to. The page gathers general resources for students, such as a Word template for independent work, resources from the university library and study workshop, and general information about independent work.
The information is available in both Swedish and English.

The Course Coordinators are responsible for other information about independent work.

Independent work is public documents and should, according to the Freedom of the Press Act, be stored and provided upon request. Linnaeus University has decided to store students' independent work in the Digital Scientific Archive (DiVA). See the the rector's decision on reporting and storage of students' independent work in DiVA.

Students' independent work should be registered in DiVA according to one of three principles:

1. All information about the work, including the full text, is freely accessible.
2. All information about the work is freely accessible. Full text is not available.
3. All information about the work is hidden and can only be retrieved by  authorized administrators.

Exceptions apply to independent work containing confidential information. In these cases, the university archivist should be contacted.

Students should be encouraged to register their work in DiVA themselves.

Independent work that is not registered by the student in DiVA is eventually registered by the responsible educational administrator. The examiner needs to save and provide the final version of the independent work to the educational administrator. Contact your administrator if you have any questions about this procedure.

Reporting of grades for thesis work follows a special routine, read more about this here.

In the MyMoodle room for independent work, there is a link to Refero - an anti-plagiarism guide.

LNU's common system for checking and identifying plagiarism in student work is Ouriginal. More information on how it works can be found on Staff.
