Dear Thesis A Students,
In Week 8, you are required to give a presentation about your thesis progress. 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.
You can do the presentation on-site or online .
For online presentation, 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…

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.

For the blog this week, I have provided some considerations to help you with your project plan.
I am using this week's blog to give you some hints on what you need to pay attention to in your literature review.
I have posted the link of the recording of the Literature Search Strategy Online Workshop run by the UNSW Library in Week 2. You can find the link under Literature Search Strategy section of Week 0.
For this week's blog, I wrote about time management and how to make the best use of the meeting with your supervisor.
As I mentioned in Week 0, the UNSW Library is running a module on "Literature search strategy". There is an online module that you need to complete and there is going to be an online workshop this Friday (7 June 2024, Week 2 Friday) at 3pm. You can find the link to the online module and the workshop login details under Week 0.
For this week blog, I wrote about tips for skimming through a paper to determine whether it is relevant and on how to read a technical paper.
As I mentioned in my talk in Week 0, I will be using a weekly blog to give you some general hints on doing your thesis. For this week's blog , I use an analogy to help you to imagine the thesis journey and I describe in general terms what you need to do for the first part of Thesis A.
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 personally 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/ .
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 or allocate it to you.
Best Regards,
Dr. Jing Hsu, CSE Thesis Admin
You can find the slides and recording of today's talk on "Introduction to Thesis" at Week 0 of the Week-by-week section of the course website .
An important task to get your thesis started is to select a topic. You should visit the Thesis Management System ( https://thesis.cse.unsw.edu.au/ ) to view the available topics and discuss with potential supervisors. We would like to see that you have a topic by Friday of Week 1 at the latest. However, it is best that you have a topic by this week so that you can start working on your thesis from Week 1.
In the "Blog Stream" section of the course website, I gave my thoughts on topic selection and talked about some skills that you can pick up for your thesis before the term gets busy.
A reminder about the Thesis A talk today (20 May 2024)
Details of Thesis A are at its website on WebCMS3: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP4951/24T2/
Welcome to Thesis A for 24T2!
I hope you're excited to start Thesis A as it heralds, for most of you, the beginning of your last year of your degree.
My name is Chun Tung Chou and I am the convenor for CSE Research Thesis. I am writing to tell you some important information about Thesis A.
