Student projects

For students starting their MSc Thesis course in November 2023 (or January 2024), we'll have and introduction lecture on Friday, 29 September at 9:00 in room S1078.

---

For those who are planning to do the halftime or final MSc presentation now after summer, the deadline for submitting the report is Thursday, 31 August. We'll then try to schedule presentations in the first half of September. The third and final opportunity for thesis defense will be in December 2023, or possibly January 2024.
Submit final reports using this Google form and half-time reports using this form.

Make sure to have at least two iterations of feedback on the report, so you should send the initial draft to your supervisors early enough. Also, remember that you also need to email the final report to the opponent. The opponent is decided by your supervisors, and it is generally one of the researchers here at ITE.

Final presentations should be 15 minutes long and must cover the goals/objectives, final contribution/novelty, the results, and conclusions from your work. It will be followed by 25-30 minutes of questions/discussion with the opponent (selected by the supervisor) and the examiners. Be advised that 15 minutes is very short, so you should carefully select what do you talk about, focusing on the most important aspects.

Half-time presentations should be 20 minutes long (plus ~10 minutes for questions) and must cover the goals/objectives, expected contribution/novelty, results achieved so far, and a refined plan on how to proceed.

How to write an abstract

A checklist based on common issues:

• The link to contemporary development within the area is often weak; theses rarely discuss international research sufficiently in-depth (use the references poorly)

• Clear research questions are often missing (having a clear research question that is answered in the report usually results in a much clearer evaluation and conclusions.)

• The text must argue for the research questions, hypothesis, methods and results; often, there is no argument to support the choice.

• Citations should not be used as a word in a sentence, e.g., "as [1] says ..."

• Make sure your figure/table captions are informative; all figures must be references in the text

• The abstract should be clear, specifying exactly what is to be investigated and why

• Results should be put in context to the previous works that they identified in the report

• Social aspects of the work are rarely discussed

Introduction lecture presenting the process and expectations on MSc project will take place on Monday, 14 October 2019 at 15:15.

The next opportunity for MSc presentations is on Monday, 23 September 2019 at 13:15 (contact Slawomir if you intend to make the presentation, so that we know how many to plan for). Also, make sure to send the supervisor-approved reports to the examiners a week before, so by 16 September 2019. After that we will have the final(!) opportunity sometime in late December/early January.

Final presentations should be 15 minutes long, and must cover the goals/objectives, final contribution/novelty, the results and conclusions from the work.

Final presentation is scheduled on Wednesday, 29 May 2019 [turns out Thursday is a holiday] (which means the examiners need to receive your reports by Thursday, 23 May 2019 at noon).

There will be a chance to re-do half-time presentations, for those who were not ready in March, around middle of May.
Half-time presentations should be 20 minutes long, and must cover the goals/objectives, expected contribution/novelty, results achieved so far, and a refined plan on how to proceed.

Topic selections are due on 27th of October 15:00 (use this GoogleForms link).

For students who started their MSc in 2018, the final opportunity to present their thesis will be on Friday, 13th of December 2019, at 16:00 (room F506). Deadline (strict!) for submitting reports is Wednesday, 11th of December, at noon.

Half-time seminar will be on 19th of February (preliminary time: 9-15, depending on number of projects that are ready in time). This means you should send the reports to the examiners on the 18th of February before lunch (this form). Please note that it's a bit earlier than I've indicated during the introductory lecture, as we've decided it makes more sense to provide this feedback sooner rather than later. The final seminar will be at the end of May (reports due in the middle of May).

Start report is due (approved by supervisors!) on 6th of December 23:59, and presentations will be done on 9th and 11th of December (you are expected to attend & listen both days).
You should prepare 10 minutes presentation, focusing on problem formulation, novelty & contribution, literature review and project plan.

The second chance for half-time presentations will be on Thursday, 12th of March (preliminary time: 13-16, depending on number of projects that are ready in time). This means you should send the reports to the examiners on the 11th of March before lunch (this form). The final seminar will be at the end of May (reports due in the middle of May).

Half-time presentations should be 20 minutes long (plus ~10 minutes for questions), and must cover the goals/objectives, expected contribution/novelty, results achieved so far, and a refined plan on how to proceed.

The final presentation is scheduled on Thursday, 28 May 2020 (which means the examiners and opponent need to receive your supervisor-approved reports by Thursday, 21 May 2020 at noon -- use this form to send your report to supervisors, and email it to the opponent).
Make sure to have at least two iterations of feedback on the report, so you should send the initial draft to your supervisors at latest in the first week of May. If you don't make it, the next opportunity will be at the end of August/beginning of September.

Final presentations should be 15 minutes long and must cover the goals/objectives, final contribution/novelty, the results and conclusions from the work. It will be followed by 15 minutes of questions/discussion with the opponent (selected by the supervisor) and the examiners. Be advised that 15 minutes is very short, so you should carefully select what do you talk about, focusing on the most important aspects.

The second opportunity for final presentations will be on Thursday, 3 September 2020 (done online, on Zoom)... which means the examiners and opponent need to receive your supervisor-approved reports by Friday, 28 August 2020 at noon -- use this Google form to send your report to examiners, and email it to the opponent.
Make sure to have at least two iterations of feedback on the report, so you should send the initial draft to your supervisors at latest in the first week of August (take into account any vacation plans!). If you don't make it, the next opportunity will be in December/January.

Introduction lecture presenting the process and expectations on MSc project will take place on Thursday, 15 October 2020 at 10:00 (sharp) through Zoom. The link should be available in your schedules.

Dear students, you should have received an email with a link to Google Spreadsheet with thesis topics assignment. It was sent to all those who submitted thesis topic selections using GoogleForm. If you have not received it, please let me (Slawomir) know ASAP.

Half-time reports are due tomorrow. However, I have been hearing that many of you have problems making the deadline. Thus, we've decided to offer an (additional) second opportunity -- in two weeks. If you can have a good quality report ready tomorrow you should still submit it, since timeliness is an important part of MSc project.

If you cannot, on the other hand, your next deadline for sending the reports to the examiners is Friday, 01 April 2022, at lunchtime (using this form).
Presentations, in that case, will be sometime in week 14.

Half-time presentations will be in week 12, probably between Wednesday, 23 March and Friday, 25 March 2022 (depending on number of projects that are ready in time).
This means the deadline for sending the reports to the examiners is the Friday, 18 March 2022, lunchtime (using this form).
