We welcome students who would like Klaus Wehrle to act as the (second) examiner of their Bachelor's or Master's thesis. To create an efficient and effective procedure for deciding whether we can assess your thesis, please carefully read the following information and follow the instructions on documents to provide and whom to contact. You will receive an answer within due time if you follow the procedure, but please note that we reserve the right to not answer or to decline your request if you do not provide the necessary information during the process.
The decision if Klaus Wehrle can take over the duty as second examiner mainly depends on our available resources and most importantly on our ability to assess your topic. Please note that we may require up to four weeks for grading your thesis after we have received the necessary documents from your first examiner (who may need a similar amount of time after you have handed in your thesis). Please consider this for your time schedule, especially if you require that your grading is finished by a certain deadline for enrollment into a subsequent study programme or the like.
Please direct all your inquiries regarding first/second examination if you are not directly advised by COMSYS staff to our functional mail address thesis(at)comsys.rwth-aachen.de. Please note that mails directed to other staff members (including Klaus Wehrle and our office staff) will be ignored. Normally, you should receive a reply from us within a few work days. In exceptional cases we might need up to two weeks. If you wait longer than two weeks for a reply or receive an e-mail error, please contact René Glebke as the coordinator of Klaus Wehrle's examiner duties directly.
Please note that we have different procedures based on the type of examiner duty you wish Klaus Wehrle to perform.
Second Examiner for RWTH students with a first examiner from computer science (aka the usual case)
Simply reach out to us via an e-mail to thesis(at)comsys.rwth-aachen.de and include the following information:
First Examiner for RWTH computer science students with an advisor from industry or not from computer science
If you are interested in writing a thesis advertised by industry or a non-computer science institute, please follow these steps:
All other cases
If your case does not fit into any of the above categories, please prepare an abstract of your work as outlined under the "second examiner" procedure above, and contact us via thesis(at)comsys.rwth-aachen.de. We will try to determine if Klaus Wehrle can still serve as your examiner.
Note: If you are enrolled in a study programme that is not one of the study fields directly offered by the Department of Computer Science at RWTH Aachen University (Bachelor, Master), please contact your examination board (Prüfungsausschuss) first to make sure a computer science professor from RWTH is allowed to grade your thesis.
