CP5080:
Introduction to Subject:Literature review, essential component.
Why are we doing literature reviews?
Student Responses:
- Looking at methodologies to help build our own thesis
- No duplicates (happens anyway)
- Keep current
Skills to obtain:
We want to avoid hitting walls
--> Supervisors will be able to help with that
Convincing others about what is being done.
Methods, techniques, insights --> Skills that will be learnt
The subject will teach about techniques, what type of lit reviews there are, and subseqentially write the thesis.
Look at getting a repository (note: Items will exist at Google Code http://code.google.com/p/honours-3d-paluma/ and on blogger http://honours-3d-paluma.blogspot.com/)
The repository is worth 15%. Keep a record of the bibliography, drafts, papers and logs
These items should include everything that you use to help build your thesis.
Version control repository is an option. (For version control of the maya project, do each scene change, history kept in model for each part)
Do Not Delete Anything!
Considering google code as an option (was implemented on Friday, the following day)
Subject we will be spending an hour-two hours each week.
Work to be done:
Research Proposal - Draft due in week 6
Will be reading 4 papers
Read through "Pedro" - find 3 papers to read, as suggested by supervisor. Pick something of appropriate length.
Look at the concept of Annotated Bibliographies. Highly useful.
Papers that will be looked at are all available via the dunk link. Several different papers there, some rather long, but will still be good.
Summarise each paper. Will be useful.
Up until now, we've been taught to read texts book and believe what we are being told. Now we need to be critical of the text, question it. Question it's validity.
Presentation - a summary of the literature review
[Continue from 19:30 timestamp later]
For repository options, may consider using a website in combination with google code? (Google code to host the files, website to link everything together in a easy to navigate structure)
When reading papers - make genuine objectivity
-> Critical Review
Look at keeping journals. (This blog is an example)
