I mentioned in my blog last week that the first tasks in your Thesis A are to understand your thesis topic and to understand the state-of-the-art. For that, you will need to conduct a literature search and to read technical papers. In this week's blog, I will give you some hints on how to do these.
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.
Wishing you a good start for your 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
