I am teaching Thesis Seminar (CSC 590) at California Polytechnic State University this Winter (2024). This is a graduate course for students in Computer Science and Software Engineering programs.
CSC 590 offers a comprehensive exploration of what is involved in writing a thesis, how to do research, and how to present research, orally and in writing. You should have at least a good idea of a thesis topic when you take CSC 590, or better yet, have already chosen a thesis topic and advisor.
