well how would you verify wether a thesis was written by AI? Mind that accusations are a serious matter, so “i guess it sorta looks like AI” or a percent number spat out by some unreliable LLM-detection AI isnt going to cut it

well, not sure if it works the same everywhere in the world, but here, you first write the graduation thesis and then you have to publicly defend it.
if the defense committee (or is it an attack committee, since it is the student who is on defense? :D) can’t ask questions in a way to find out whether the student actually wrote the paper and understands the topic, then what fucking pseudo-scientific field is that? (and the answer indeed is - it is economics 😂)

Jesus how bad are their student papers that they can’t tell whether an AI wrote one?!

Does hand-on mean supervised?

no, it means they will try to somehow apply the knowledge they acquired to real life problem. creating a project, instead of writing a text.
