Thessa is an electronic tool used at the University of Helsinki for supervising, planning and monitoring doctoral studies. A supervision plan is an agreement made by the doctoral student and their supervisors immediately at the beginning of doctoral studies. The plan specifies the common rules of the supervision relationship, as well as the rights and obligations of each party involved. The plan is prepared in Thessa.

Ouriginal can be used to provide support to students as they hone their academic writing skills, and to detect plagiarism. Ouriginal can be linked to many functions in Moodle, and it can also be easily used by e-mail. Ouriginal has also been integrated to E-thesis.  

A document submitted to Ouriginal is compared with texts in the open internet, publication databases and other documents saved in the Ouriginal database. A comparison report is generated, showing how much similarity the submitted document share with the other documents.

All master’s theses completed at the University of Helsinki must be checked with Ouriginal before approval. Ouriginal can also be used in other, smaller writing tasks for practising academic writing.
