Question: (Last edited: Monday, 27 September 2021, 4:09 PM)Academic Supervisor: When/How can I request for an Academic Supervisor? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: One of the fundamental purposes of the Graduation Assignment/Final Project is to ensure students carry out original applied research in a field that is related to their specialisation. This is done with the guidance of an academic supervisor, who is appointed in the final phase of a bachelor's degree programme, or from the first semester of the master's degree programme. Academic supervisors are always members of the academic staff at WUAS, appointed by the Graduation and Examination Board (GEB). Academic supervisors will be allocated according to various criteria including their familiarity with the proposed topic, their knowledge of the relevant methodologies, their experience in conducting and supervising applied research projects and their workloads. You can request an Academic Supervisor when you meet the following pre-requisites:
To request an Academic Supervisor, please complete the Online Academic Supervisor Request Form via the links below. You will receive a confirmation email approximately between 3-7 working days after submitting the form completely. Once an Academic Supervisor is assigned to you, please make contact with your Academic Supervisor by making an appointment using the Microsoft Office Calendar.

Question: (Last edited: Friday, 26 August 2022, 8:44 PM)Can students participate lessons online? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: No lessons are facilitated online from academic year 2022-2023. Wittenborg is an experiential institute, thus, students need to physically interact with each other. The teachers will conduct all lessons in the classrooms and the study materials will be available for students via the online course areas on Wittenborg-Online, as usual. Note that no lessons will be streamed live. At Wittenborg, students signed up for a programme that is planned and offered with lessons, projects, and other educational activities delivered in-campus on full-time basis. Therefore, all students are expected to effectively participate in the classes and fulfil all study requirements. If you have travelled outside the Netherlands for mitigating reasons (e.g medical) please note that you are eligible to request for Leave of absence/study freeze. You can find more information on this in the FAQs. https://www.wittenborg-online.com/mod/glossary/showentry.php?eid=848

Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 13 April 2022, 8:13 AM)Exam Review: How is exam review conducted for Type 1/Type 2 ONLINE assignments? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: All students should be given the opportunity to review their marked exam papers. As a standard quality control procedure, a moderation process is conducted by the exam committee prior to the results released to students for consistency in grading. And if inefficiencies of grading are found, corrective measures will be taken. This process is put in place to ensure that the students are not disadvantaged. Note: Students can only send appeal request within 1 week after receiving the results. | |||
Question: (Last edited: Monday, 18 September 2023, 1:52 PM)How are the Project Weeks graded? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: If you successfully attend and pass a project week, you should see the grade in Osiris as 1. Similarly if you pass 2 project weeks, you will see a grade of 2. If you attended 3 project weeks and you do not see it graded as 3 then that means that you failed your third project week. You should also refer to the comments given by the Project Week supervisor in your report submitted in the TurnitIn area as they give you a clarity if you have been passed or failed. Please note that you are not given a grade but rather a count of how many project weeks you have passed. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 28 June 2023, 3:59 PM)How can I check the AI percentage in Type 2 exam submission? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: For the time being only the examiners can see the AI similarity percentage via Turnitin, which we think Turnitin may make available to students in the future; yet it is their decision. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 28 June 2023, 3:57 PM)How is my paper graded in regard to the AI usage? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: Assignments with AI similarity of up to 3% will be checked by examiners to investigate if there is any attempt of Academic Misconduct. If none is found, the assignments will be assessed as per the standard procedure. In cases where examiners/moderators have doubts on the originality of the work, they may request students to:
Take note that WUAS is not discouraging the use of AI tools (such as ChatGPT) for learning purposes. Nonetheless, misuse of such tools will be considered Academic Misconduct. | ||||

Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 3 March 2021, 10:46 AM)Plagiarism: What happens if two or more students were observed to have been cooperating during exams? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: During the grading process, if the similarity in assessments between two or more students is identified it will result in an automatic failure (for all parties involved) and will be reported to the Graduation and Examination Board to take actions accordingly. You must ensure that you do not work together with other students in a group/team or share any information related to your home assignment for any module submission. This is very important and your own responsibility to protect your work being copied by other students. Our plagiarism policy is available in Part 5 of the EEG. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Friday, 8 March 2024, 3:21 PM)Retake of Remaining Module: What shall I do if I still have 1 or 2 pending modules prior to graduation? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: On condition that a student has a mitigating circumstance and/or a minimum of 210ECs (Bachelors) and 50ECs (Masters), a request can be made for a Retake of the Remaining Module if the remaining module is not within the block(s) prior to Graduation. A maximum of 2 modules can be requested. A student is permitted to do a Retake of the Remaining Module only once. Otherwise reverts to the normal planning of the module. A Retake of the Remaining Module can only be done when a student has attempted the normal exam (1st attempt). In special cases (at the request of the student in writing), the exam board may decide otherwise. Retake of the Remaining Module requests must be made not later than Lesson Week 1 of the block before the planned Retake, i.e. For a retake request in Block 2: the request has to be made in Lesson Week 1 of Block 1. Resource: EEG Part 8, 9.2 Retake of Remaining Module under Mitigating Circumstances. | |||

Question: (Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:04 AM)What is MEEs? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: Starting from the academic year 2022-2023, all
new students starting their programmes at Wittenborg will not only follow
normal assessments that lead to European Credits, but will also be required to
complete a Multidisciplinary (phase) Exit Exams (MEEs) at the
end of each learning phase. This means that for bachelor’s students, there will
be an MEE at the end of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. For Master’s students,
the MEE is at the end of semester 2. The MEEs are compulsory and must be
completed in order to graduate. Why MEE? The rationale of having the MEE is to monitor and evaluate the progress of WUAS students from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective. This new assessment will enable students to better evaluate their educational progress as well as the development of competencies required to become business administrators and managers. A good performance will make graduates stand out in the eyes of employers. It is an assessment that students must pass to complete a course and be promoted to the next phase. It is a way to maintain graduation standards, assurance of learning and quality of retained knowledge and skills. This exam is important as it can ensure that WUAS students meet educational standards. In return, it can also influence educational policy at WUAS | ||||
