In this week's blog , I offer some hints on writing the thesis report. Also, this is the last blog for Thesis A.
I hope the blogs have been useful for your thesis journey.
All the best with your report.
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 .However, we encourage you doing the presentation on-site .
For online presentation, we recommend Microsoft Teams which is included in UNSW office 365 and can be login by using your zpass.
Key facts about your presentation:
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
In this week's blog , I offer some hints on how to structure your Thesis A presentation. I will take a week off for blogging for the flexibility week. I will write about the Thesis report in Week 7.
In this week's blog , I discuss what you should consider when making plans for Thesis B and Thesis C.
In this week's blog , I discuss the elements that you need to include in your literature review and some hints on how you can highlight the state-of-the-art.
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
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.
Welcome to Thesis A for 26T2!
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 CSE UG Thesis Coordinator, which means I am the convenor for Theses A/B/C. I am writing to tell you some important information about Thesis A.
