At other types of institutions, especially private ones, ''amderen'' are still examined on the merits. Some such institutions (or departments) require an oral defence, or an epistolary defence involving two or three rounds of written responses to challenges from the examining faculty.

The ''pro forma'' nature of the undergraduate monstration for a sizeable minority of students and the understanding that most will never be read have encouraged the submission of millions of ''amderen'' that are brazenly low-effort (example: ), patently spurious (example: ), humorous (''[https://img.ifunny.co/images/c47b9714571b7b99d2c00c5f47edd18a2b4f98a82a7900570d2371b7a3900f00_1.jpg Kantian Critique of the Noumenal versus the Personal Marius]''), unrelated to the author’s field of study (example: ), or wholly unreadable (example: ). Unabashed plagiarism was rampant in the intervening decades between the official end of substantive examination at public universities and the digitisation of academic databases. In 21208, D.F.W. Érigorivan, a professor of [[Kalvertan Coscivian|Kalvertan]] literature at [[Hanoram]]’s third-tier Spuirdun State College and a defender of substantive examination, found that between 80% and 90% of theses submitted to his institution during the three preceding years were computer-generated, with widely varying levels of sophistication and believability. Further, a full 20% of theses were duplicates or near-duplicates (most often with the title being the only point of difference).

A growing number of schools make published theses accessible online, which has led to IxTwitter accounts that highlight especially humorous, implausible, or unusual monstration titles and abstracts.

Despite this, there remain incentives for students to produce serious and high-quality theses. These include postgraduate admissions, consideration for honours, use of the monstration as a writing sample when seeking employment, personal pride, and its twin sibling parental pressure.
