  • Thesis Marks

    Posted by John Shepherd Thursday 02 September 2021, 10:08:30 AM.

    You have probably all noticed that you got LE for thesis in your 21T2 Thesis marks.

    Don't panic. It simply means that the thesis marks haven't been finalised. We are still waiting for some recalcitrant academics to do their marking.

    Hopefully they'll be sorted out by early next week.

    IMPORTANT things to note:

  • Thesis A Presentation

    Posted by Jing Hsu Wednesday 07 July 2021, 10:56:18 AM, last modified Wednesday 07 July 2021, 11:13:05 AM.

    Dear Thesis A Students,

    In Week 8, you are required to give a presentation about your thesis project. Please schedule a time in Week 8 for the presentation with your supervisor and assessor. Although no other attendees are required, it is good to have relevant people who are interested in your project, to attend your presentation so that you can get more feedback.

    Due to Covid-19, you need to do the presentation online. We recommend Microsoft Teams which is included in UNSW office 365 and can be login by using your zpass.

    You can also discuss with you supervisor and assessor to choose another online meeting software, such as skype, google meeting, and zoom…

    Key facts about your presentation:

    • Worth 25% of your Thesis A final result.
    • Follow the Marking Criteria and Assessment Components to prepare your presentation .
    • Organise the time/date yourself with supervisor and assessor
    • A 45-minute demonstration about your Thesis A topic and the plan (including talk/demo, Q&A, debrief with supervisor/assessor)
    • Submit the presentation slides by 10pm 25th July Sunday Week 8 (firm) . If you cannot submit it by the deadline due to some valid reasons, contact me for an extension (supervisor approval must be provided).

    One IMPORTANT thing to note:

    If you cannot find a suitable time to do the presentation in week 8, you can do it later, but you MUST submit your slides by the due date. Otherwise, you will get the late penalty.

    If you have further information to be included, please let me know. Thanks.

    Good luck with the presentation.

    Regards,
    Dr. Jing Hsu, CSE Thesis Admin

  • Get Cracking!

    Posted by John Shepherd Sunday 13 June 2021, 11:54:08 AM.

    Week 3 is about to start. If you haven't yet had a meeting with your supervisor, do it this week.

    Email them if they haven't emailed you.

    What you should be doing now ...

    • clarifying/refining your topic
    • looking at related prior work (i.e. literature review)
    • working out precisely where your work fits in context
    • planning how you're going to run your project

    You'll need to discuss all of the above (and more) in your Week 8 presentation.

  • Thesis A 21T2

    Posted by John Shepherd Monday 31 May 2021, 03:03:53 PM.

    Things are changing in Thesis-land ...

    We are starting to transition away from Moodle. The thesis information that you can find on the Moodle site is now also available on https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP4951/21T2/ (and possibly easier to access). Similarly, the management/marking of thesis projects will (slowly) transition to a new system, built by a thesis student (thesis.cse.unsw.edu.au). Not all of the topics are on this system yet.

    John Shepherd (jas@cse.unsw.edu.au) will be Thesis Coordinator in 21T2. Don't send mail to Hui Wu; he just bounces it to me, adding one extra level of indirection and delay.

    I will put up the recording of the intro lecture in the next day or two. The slides are already available under the Lectures link from the sidebar.

    As I mentioned in the Intro Lecture, I plan to make a series of short videos on various topics: bibliographic search, structure of a literature review, structure of a thesis, managing the relationship with your supervisor and assessor, etc. etc. Coming in the next week or two (also under Lectures).

    One thing that hasn't changed is that Jing Hsu (jing.hsu@unsw.edu.au) is still doing admin for Theses.

  • Thesis Intro Lecture

    Posted by Jing Hsu Thursday 27 May 2021, 02:30:06 PM.

    Dr. John Shepherd will give an introduction lecture at 10am Friday 28th May.

    Please join the meeting https://unsw.zoom.us/j/84331484729 on time.
