  • Thesis Topic Registration

    Posted by Jing Hsu Monday 09 September 2024, 01:38:26 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 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/ .

    • The supervisor creates the topic and adds an assessor for the project if it doesn't exist in TMS.
    • You can find the topic in TMS and apply for it.
    • Your supervisor accepts you in TMS.
    • You agree to take the project in TMS.

    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

  • Recording of "Introduction to Thesis" talk / Blog (Week 0)

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 02 September 2024, 02:56:42 PM.

    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.
