Task (week 38): Declare your topic

Please state the following:

  1. Who will your master thesis advisor be? Or, if it is not confirmed yet, who would you have in mind as a master thesis advisor? Any member of faculty at NMBU can be the main advisor. If you want to work closely with someone outside NMBU, choose that person as a co-advisor and someone within the Department of Data Science as the main advisor.
  2. Give the tentative title of your master thesis, and for your DAT390 report (can be the same or different). Note that this does not commit you to anything, you can change the topic for your DAT390 report until the very submission date (13.12.) without any negative consequences for your grade.
  3. Give a one-sentence description of how much you have interacted with the advisor so far, and how far you have come at delineating and agreeing on the topic.
  4. What is your level of language competency in English and in Norwegian, respectively? C2: Native speaker, C1: Fluent (you can use it effortlessly for any purpose), B2: Professional (you can use it for any purpose, but feel an effort), or below B2.
  5. What language do you plan to write your master thesis in? If you are not sure yet, but considering either, please also write that.
  6. How confident are you at working with LaTeX? (Brief one-sentence statement.)

These answers will help us split the course into two sections from week 41, and also assess to what extent some LaTeX advice will be needed.

Please submit two files containing the answers: LaTeX source file, and a PDF version of it.

(submit through Canvas by end of 20th September 2024)
