Bachelorthesis Assistent-AI assistant for thesis support

Example

A student might be unsure about how to narrow down their topic on environmental policy. The assistant suggests refining the scope by focusing on a specific country, policy, or time frame.

Scenario

If a student is overwhelmed by broad research topics in economics, the assistant can offer targeted questions to help define a more focused research area, such as exploring the effects of green policies on local industries in Germany.

Example

For a student with a scattered draft, the assistant provides a step-by-step approach on how to organize chapters—introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.

Scenario

A student with a draft thesis lacking a coherent flow can use the assistant to re-structure their work into logical sections, ensuring smooth transitions and a clear narrative arc throughout the paper.

Example

If a student is working on the impact of social media on mental health, the assistant could guide them towards hypotheses like: 'Increased social media usage correlates with higher levels of anxiety among university students.'

Scenario

In a study on the effects of work-from-home policies, the assistant helps the student refine their hypothesis to focus on specific variables, such as employee productivity and work-life balance, providing a clear direction for the research.

Example

A student working on climate change adaptation may be struggling to find an original angle. The assistant can identify gaps in the existing literature, such as a lack of research on adaptation strategies in rural regions.

Scenario

In a literature review on digital education tools, the assistant might point out that most research focuses on primary education, and suggest exploring the lesser-studied area of adult education as a research gap.

Example

A student analyzing survey data might not know which statistical test to use. The assistant can recommend tests like t-tests or ANOVA based on their data type and research questions.

Scenario

In a psychological study examining differences between two groups, the assistant suggests using a chi-square test if the data is categorical, ensuring the student uses the appropriate methodology for accurate analysis.

Example

A student analyzing data in R might be unsure how to perform a linear regression. The assistant can provide specific code snippets to execute the analysis and visualize the results.

Scenario

For a marketing student analyzing customer behavior data, the assistant helps generate R code for performing clustering analysis, offering guidance on interpreting the output for the thesis.

Example

A student with complex, unclear sentences in their literature review receives suggestions on how to simplify their language and improve the readability of their argument.

Scenario

For a sociology thesis, the assistant can help rephrase overly technical jargon into more accessible language, ensuring that key arguments are communicated clearly without sacrificing academic rigor.
