Week 8 presentation: In-person to a wider audience

Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 21 October 2024, 08:50:24 AM, last modified Thursday 24 October 2024, 08:30:41 AM.

We have written to you last week on Week 8's presentation. We recommend that you do it in-person rather than online. The minimum audience of your presentation is your supervisor and assessor, but it will be good if you can deliver your presentation to a wider audience including other thesis students. It will also be great if you can attend other students' presentations .

In order that you can deliver an in-person presentation that other students can attend, we have reserved rooms in K17 for you to use or we can book a room for you. You can use the Google Forms link here (WebCMS3 login required) to:

1. Book a time slot in a room in K17 to do your thesis presentation
2. Ask us to book a room for you
3. Let us know the time and location of your presentation if you already have a room available

We will compile the information and announce a schedule so that you can attend other students' presentations. Although we are not making in-person presentation to a wider audience compulsory this term, we strongly encourage you to do it.

We ask you to provide the information to us by Thur 24 Oct (Week 7) so that we can announce an initial schedule this Friday.

Dear Thesis C Students,

In Week 8, you are required to give a demo of your thesis project. Please schedule a time in Week 8 for the demo 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 demo so that you can get more feedback.

You can do the demo on-site or online . However, we encourage you doing the presentation on-site .

For online demo, we recommend Microsoft Teams which is included in UNSW office 365 and can be login by using your zpass.

Key facts about the demo:

• Worth 10% of your Thesis C final result.
• Please follow the Marking Rubric and Assessment Components (listed in week 8 section) to prepare your demo.
• Organise the time/date yourself with supervisor and assessor
• A 45-minute demonstration about the final outcome of your thesis (including talk/demo, Q&A, debrief with supervisor/assessor)
• Submit the demo slides in TMS by 10pm 3rd Nov Sunday Week 8 . If you cannot submit it by the deadline due to some valid reasons, contact me for an extension ( supervisor approval must be provided ).

One IMPORTANT thing to note:

If you cannot find a suitable time to do the demo 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.

Thesis Management System (TMS) bug

Posted by Chun Tung Chou Wednesday 04 September 2024, 04:21:06 PM.

Dear 24T3 Thesis C students,

The Thesis Management System (TMS) has unfortunately gone buggy since last week. If you log onto TMS, it will say that you are enrolled in Thesis C in 24T3, which is correct. But, it also says that you were enrolled in Thesis C in 24T2, which is a bug. This is just to let you know that the issue is on our end, not yours.

As a result of the bug, I'm afraid you are not able to see your Thesis B results on TMS at the moment.

I'm afraid it may take a couple of weeks to get that fixed due to staffing issue. My apologies for the problems.
