Opinnot > T-110.5290 > 2006 > sign_up.html

• 12.9.2006 Sign up for students is opened.
• 14.8.2006 Sign up for students will be opened on 12th of September
• 14.8.2006 If you want to be a tutor of this course, read the tutor page and send email to the professor immediately :)

Students sign up by sending an application to "course code as written in the beginning of this page"@tml.hut.fi as plain text in message body (and transcript of completed courses as an attached PDF) after the first meeting but before the deadline given in the schedule. Details of this application email are given below.

Before signing up, the student should choose one of the listed topics, and two additional topics in case too many students choose the same primary topic. The student should also find and read a few articles on the chosen topic. The topics are presented in the first meeting, and after it on the topic list. If you want to suggest an own topic, you need to agree on it together with the professor (because you need a tutor).

Note, that due to the limited amount of tutors on this seminar, we can only accept a maximum of 35 students to the course. It is therefore in your own interest to justify why you should be taken, since only partially filled or poorly justified applications will be among the first ones to be rejected.

In the e-mail should be mentioned:

• Name
• Student number
• Contact information (e-mail address)
• Your cc.hut.fi account username (for the Optima account)
• Your major and minor (or the name of your master programme)
• Your transcript of completed courses (OODI-ote) as attached file. The one that you get from web order form is enough.
• That in writing your paper you agree to follow the guidelines for research and scientific writing ethics presented in Good scientific practise and procedures for handling misconduct and fraud in science by National Advisory Board on Research Ethics
• Your primary topic area and a preliminary title. Include:
  • The topic title (as given on the Introduction to topics page)
  • The preliminary title of you paper and a short (1/2 page) description of the problem setting that you will research.
  • A couple of references, where you would start looking for information if you are lucky enough to get this topic. Since the specific topic you will write about still is open, these references can be general, althoug e.g. "www.ietf.org" will not do as a good reference.
• One or two additional topics that you are interested in, in case too many students choose your primary topic area, in which case you necessarily will not be able to write about that subject. You do not need to describe these topics as thoroughly as your primary topic. Naming the topic title and a tentative focus is enough.
• Your previous knowledge in this area (prerequisite courses or other knowledge)
• A justification:
  • The justification explains for the course personnel, why you should be able to take the course this term. How far are you in your studies (how many credits do you have) and why do you need to take this course. You could mention when you plan to start writing your thesis. If you are graduating soon and really need to take this course now, state so in your application.

The accepted students among with the topics they get to research and their personal tutors will be announced in the newsgroup opinnot.tik.netsec according to the course schedule.

The application e-mails will be acknowledged as the course personnel receive them. (The applications will be acknowledged manually - don't expect real-time answers.)

Follow the opinnot.tik.netsec newsgroup during the whole course. It is our main announcement media.
