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.

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

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.

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).
