S-38.130 Licentiate course on Telecommunications Technology

Topic handout

The aim is to hand out the topics at the end of week 40 (October 8th). This would leave approximately 7 weeks to complete the article and other requisites. The topics will follow the book quite closely and the aim is to section the book into appropriate parts and that the articles are based on parts of the books and additional research. Monotonic read/writeouts of the book will not be encouraged.

Handout process

The topics will be given to students in random order. Each student will get a randomly selected subject and no preference is given over student properties (order of one's name in alphabet, student number etc.) or student preferences (area of expertise, personal wishes on subject etc.).

Start reading the book now!!

Schedule

The introductory lectures last 30-45 minutes each. The length and content will be determined later on. The student presentations may not take more than 15 minutes. This is strictly supervised, so be prepared. After the presentation there is room for discussions for 15 minutes. This is also strictly supervised, so prepare your comments to the point.

Requisites

To successfully pass the course and receive 4 credits you should:
  1. Write a paper on your subject totalling in 4-6 pages according to the styleguide. Paper grading will be done based on quality, not on the quantity. The paper needs to be in the form of a properly written scientific article.
  2. Give a presentation (15 minutes tops + 15 minutes for discussion)
  3. Act as an opponent to at least one of the presentations. Your duty is to keep the conversation alive. The presenter will provide you with his/her paper in advance. You will also need to grade the presentation and the paper. The grading form may be obtained here in .pdf format or you can get it on location. This form is to be used only by the opponent.
  4. Return, together with your paper, four (4) exercises and answers to them based on the student's topic (this means short mathematical exercises, simulation exercises, network design exercises etc.)
  5. Pass the examination.

The presentation paper is to be delivered one week before the seminar. The delivery of the paper to the opponent remains to be separately negotiated between the opponent and you. You are also required to deliver your paper in electronic format: preferably in Postscript or PDF. MSWord documents are also accepted. You may e-mail your document as an attachment to the course assistant.

The paper should cover its topic from the following viewpoints (apply to your subject where appropriate):

Paper style guide

Grading

Your final grade will be based on
  1. The opponents grading of your paper and presentation, grading form available here in .pdf format.
  2. Faculty assessment of your paper, presentation and exercises. Several factors should be kept in mind by the student, such as: the clarity of the presentation in the paper, coverage of topic: remember to cover large enough area (breadth) with enough details (depth). Also the response to questions in the seminar and the original contribution in the paper and in the exercises are noted for.
  3. Your final examination grade
