Thesis A Presentation

Posted by Jing Hsu Monday 28 March 2022, 04:06:17 PM.

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 can 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 on TMS by 10pm 10th April 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). You can also make an application through special consideration portal with support documents.

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

Thesis Topic Register

Posted by Jing Hsu Monday 14 February 2022, 05:59:09 PM, last modified Monday 14 February 2022, 05:59:37 PM.

Dear Thesis A students,

By the end of Week 1, you need to register your thesis topic details and set up a thesis project (project = topic + you + supervisor + assessor).

IMPORTANT: students without a topic by this deadline will be asked to discontinue Thesis A and try again next term.

Before registering your topic, you need to contact potential supervisors and get acceptance from a supervisor, who provide the topic and nominate an assessor for your thesis.

Then you can register the topic in Thesis Management System (TMS): https://thesis.cse.unsw.edu.au/ .

• The supervisor creates the topic and adds an assessor for the project.
• You can find the topic in TMS and apply for it.
• Your supervisor accepts you in TMS.

If your supervisor don't know about TMS and may not have put their topic there, you should ask them politely to add their topic to the new thesis system, and you can run the whole project from there.

If a topic in TMS is not available to apply, please send me the accept email from your supervisor and the topic name or link, then I can make it available.

Best Regards,

Dr. Jing Hsu, CSE Thesis Admin

Thesis topics

Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 11 February 2022, 05:47:50 PM, last modified Friday 11 February 2022, 10:38:03 PM.

I would like to re-iterate two important points from the "Intro to Thesis" talk earlier today.

1. If you haven't found a supervisor yet, please browse the topics at the Thesis Management System (TMS) https://thesis.cse.unsw.edu.au/ to find a topic. You should try to get a topic by Friday of Week 1.
2. If you have negotiated a topic with a supervisor and the topic is not in the TMS, please ask your supervisor to add the topic into the TMS. You should then apply for the topic and your supervisor should approve. We must have your topic and supervisor details in the TMS.

You can find the slides and recording of the "Intro to Thesis" talk under Week-by-week at the course website https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP4951/22T1/
