Kalau mau membedakan skripsi S-1 dan tesis S-2, saya rasa kita bisa menyebutnya sebagai Undergraduate Thesis dan Master Thesis.

Sebenarnya saya masih ambigu ttg beda skripsi,tesis dan disertasi dalam English. Tapi sepertinya memang tidak terlalu dipermasalahkan apa namanya dalam English. Terima kasih.

Explanation:
karena skripsi adalah untuk S1 sedangkan thesis untuk S2, maka saya pilih mini thesis sebagai padanan skripsi.

Asker: Saya coba search di Wikipedia dan Dictionary.com tapi tdk ada keterangan. Dan sepertinya mini-thesis lebih merupakan penugasan (paper/coursework) dan bukan prasyarat memperoleh gelar S1.

Explanation:
In the U.S., 'thesis' and 'dissertation' are often used interchangeably at the PhD level, with no difference in meaning. The term 'dissertation' is rarely used at the Master's level; 'thesis' is preferred. Usually neither term is used at the Bachelor's level -- in the U.S. original written research is rarely required to obtain a Bachelor's degree. There is no widespread equivalent to Indonesia's skripsi for the S1. In the rare case when a candidate for the Bachelor's degree has to do such research, the term 'thesis' is used, not 'dissertation'.

One may find 'final projects' at the high school and Bachelor's levels. A final project is less formal than a thesis or dissertation, does not require original work and may not even involve any sort of written product. It could be for instance production of a computer program or a mechanical device (for an engineering class), production of a sculpture or drawing (for an art class), etc. Additionally 'final project' usually refers to a task required to complete a particular high school or college course, not a task (such as the thesis/dissertation) which is required to complete the degree as a whole.

I cannot speak for usage in the U.K. They have an entirely different system with their own terminology ("A-levels", etc.) that leaves me baffled. Nor can I speak for Australia, NZ, etc.

I hope this is helpful...
