I am translating from a diploma and was not sure how to translate the term in this context:
[UNIVERSITAS] N. X. honores tribuit postquam studiorum cursu absoluto commentationem scripsit et examen legitimum sustinuit.
My Latin dictionary gives "studying, meditation" for "commentatio" but this doesn't really fit.

paper/thesis
I believe it means a paper or thesis the student must prepare for graduation which s/he must also defend (as I understand from the context).

I've found some internet articles where it is used in this presumed sense of "dissertation".

More relevant: please see the Lewis and Short Latin Dictionary here http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/resolveform?lang=Latin
II. Concr., a learned work, treatise, dissertation, description
I hope this helps.
