CS Design Thesis Platform 2023-
Thesis Plan Proposal
Thesis Plan Proposal guidelines
The Thesis Plan Proposal acts an opening for the thesis. It should contain a specific thesis idea and supporting concepts. This plan, as it is understood to be a reflection of work that is in-process, helps facilitate discussion between the student and potential supervisors. The Thesis Plan Proposal is a prerequisite and precursor to the Extended Thesis Plan.
The TPO's MyCourses page has helpful resources regarding the writing the Thesis Plan Proposal, including the Thesis Plan Proposal template. However, even if the template suggest that you have a preliminary literature review done, the CS Thesis Plan proposal does not require this.
Your Thesis Plan Proposal should contain:
- An abstract (one paragraph)
- The background (what is the topic area and why is it important)
- A research question (your preliminary idea of what are you trying to find out in your thesis)
- The method (how are you going to be working in your thesis)
- Possible partners in the project and potential advisors/supervisors
- Potential costs of the project and funding if applicable
- An estimated schedule of the project: separate blocks of time should be allocated for different parts of the thesis
-Risks of the project and a plan for dealing with setbacks if they arise
Thesis Plan Proposals should be submitted here at least five days before the date of the presentations. On presentation day, students present a short (less than ten minutes), visual presentation of their thesis ideas for feedback. The next date for the presentations is Friday 29th September.
