Thesis
The supervision of final theses is very important to us, as students can acquire new knowledge and intensively deepen existing skills. The final thesis is an important (often the first fully independent) project experience, especially in the Bachelor's degree program. Our supervision concept is roughly divided into two phases: First, in the preparatory seminar courses (project studies in the Bachelor's program or project work in the Master's program), an intensive and highly cooperative project elaboration takes place, which results in an exposé of the study idea. This is then discussed further and rounded off with a presentation by the graduate in a colloquium and a pre-registration of the planned research work. This is followed by data collection, evaluation and interpretation by the graduate, accompanied by mentoring support. In this phase, we encourage students to work independently with the aim of independently developing the implications of their research work. This supervision concept, including the degree of freedom and personal responsibility in the second project phase, is always rated very positively by our graduates in the debriefing and thus once again promotes the profile of the empirically experienced scientific practitioner with a clear connection to the practical field of application. Just as in our other teaching, we work cooperatively with internal and external partners from research and practice to achieve this goal.

User experience: Translation and first validation of a website evaluation questionnaire
Aim of this thesis is to translate and validate a standardized user experience questionnaire. The study could be done regarding one questionnaire dealing with website content (www.WebCLIC.de) or website aesthetics (see www.VisAWI.de). You can choose the language for yourself, as long as you are fluent in it. Especially foreign and Erasmus students are very welcomed. Translations into one of the most widely spoken languages in the world (e.g. Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, etc.) or other languages whose speakers could be relatively easy sampled (e.g. Turkish, Polish, Italian, Dutch) are particularly encouraged.
The following language versions already exist and can therefore no longer be assigned as a thesis topic – VisAWI: Arabic, Bulgarian, Farsi, French, Turkish | Web-CLIC: Arabic, Spanish
