The supervision of final theses is an essential part of teaching at universities. By writing such a thesis, students develop their ability to carry out independent academic work to an extent that no other course can achieve. In addition, the results of theses can be used in research at the respective institution.

Both students and supervisors can benefit from a high-quality thesis. Both sides are also responsible for the success of the thesis. On the part of the supervisor, the question often arises as to the approach to supervision:
- How much should or may the students be guided?
- What do I have to give the students?
- What do I have to adhere to in terms of organization and examination law?
- How do I assess the work?
- How can I use the results of the work in my own research?

The aim of this workshop is to help you find your own way of supervising theses. In exchange with other participants, you will develop a sensible approach to supervision. You will gain insight into both the legal and organizational framework conditions at Clausthal University of Technology and adapt your approach accordingly.
