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
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 your thesis journey and I describe in general terms what you need to do for the first part of Thesis A.
I am pleased to announce the Thesis talk "How to write a good thesis?" in Week 2. The talk will be given by Prof. Gernot Heiser who is an award winning professor from CSE and his work has been used in billions of devices worldwide.
The talk will be at 1pm, Thur 19 Sept 2024 (Week 2). This is a hybrid seminar. We encourage you to attend in person. The physical location is Design Next Studio, Level 5, Ainsworth Building (J17).
For online attendance, the Zoom login details are
here on the Thesis A WebCMS3 website
(login required)
I look forward to seeing you in the talk. The talk will be recorded and made available.
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 (2 Sept 2024):
Details of Thesis A are at its website on WebCMS3: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP4951/24T3/
Welcome to Thesis A for 24T3!
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.
