Thesis evaluation

Today we got the final grades of our thesis also from LUT. Here are my results from GSOM and LUT:

• GSOM: 4/B (Best would have been 5/A. These are different numbers, other is Russian, other international. So from both I got the second best)
• LUT: Magna cum laude abbrobatur (3rd best out of 7 grades, basically an 8 in the scale of 4-10)

I am happy with both of those grades, especially since I really didn't spend THAT much time on the thesis. Basically this level was my goal and I achieved it. No complaints. :)

Last time i sit between these two in a seminar/classroom

I had my thesis defense yesterday. It went well overall and i am pleased with it especially considering my levels of tiredness during the whole day. Most of us LUT MITIM people have already presented, only 3 more presentations before we are all done and will hear our final results.

Currently I am sitting between Shot and Seb and just realized that this really is the last time when we are sitting in the same seminar/classroom together side by side. But definitely not the last time we will be in the same place at the same time together. Guaranteed.

Oh yeah, also got feedback about my thesis

..but not from my own supervisors, but another professor from GSOM. Still haven't heard anything from my LUT supervisor - will be interesting to hear what he has to say...

Anyways, I didn't quite understand how my work was graded, as on the scale from 2-5, I had on most criteria 2 of the grades bolded (no other way of separating the result). Also, didn't get any kind of recommendation for final grade (except "deserves a good grade" which would mean 4), which would have been nice to see.

Tomorrow I will be a bit smarter regarding the grade.

And I will also be tired since I decided to sleep one more night in Joensuu before heading to Lappeenranta. My train leaves after 6 o'clock in the morning.. Will be fun. But it just was easier solution to do like this.

All ready for public defense

I just finished my slides for the public defense. I am not completely sure about the balance of the presentation - i had to cut the individual case analyzes in order to have enough time for the other stuff. Not perfectly pleased about that, but i guess it will be fine.

I uses mainly my slides from the pre-defense, but made some changes in the order and content of them. Also added a bit of eye candy. :)

Tomorrow I will be done with the whole stuff. That's a relief.

After that: focusing on making money.
