Resources on writing your thesis

Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 03 November 2025, 02:50:23 PM.

I have put together a page that summarises the resources that help you to write your thesis. The page is under Week 8.

On that page, I have also summarised the top three tips from various resources to help you to avoid some common mistakes.

All the best with your presentation and thesis.

Week 8 presentation: In-person to a wider audience

Posted by Chun Tung Chou Tuesday 28 October 2025, 07:53:33 AM.

We have written to you earlier this 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 TMS 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

There are detailed instruction on how to use this new feature on TMS: Under Week-by-week on the course website, choose Week 7, and then "Arrange the Week 8 Presentation".

A seminar schedule will also be made available on TMS.

Although we are not making in-person presentation to a wider audience compulsory this term, we strongly encourage you to do it and let us have the information by the end of Week 7.

Instructions for Thesis C Demo

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 9th 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 ). You can also make an application through special consideration portal with support documents, such as medical certification.

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.

If you have further information to be included, please let me know.

Regards,

Dr. Jing Hsu, CSE Thesis Admin
