- Master's state final examinations (''státnice'' in Czech): requires [[https://is.mff.cuni.cz/|registering]] for the examination in the required [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/academic-calendar/|deadline]] and showing up for the examination.

So each of both parts is offered separately in the [[https://is.mff.cuni.cz/|Study Information System (SIS)]], each of them must be enrolled in the required [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/academic-calendar/|deadline]] and they can be taken jointly or separately in three possible terms throughout the year: ''summer'' (June), ''autumn'' (September) and ''winter'' (February). Please note that the deadline for registration differs for each of the terms. Actually, there is a preferred way, when everything went well, and that is the summer final examination after the 2nd year's summer semester, taking both the defence and examination, which places the registration for both examinations and the submission of the thesis somewhere to **[[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/academic-calendar/|May]]**. | So each of both parts is offered separately in the [[https://is.mff.cuni.cz/|Study Information System (SIS)]], each of them must be enrolled in the required [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/academic-calendar/|deadline]] and they can be taken jointly or separately in three possible terms throughout the year: ''summer'' (June), ''autumn'' (September) and ''winter'' (February).

| ==== Survivor Advice: ==== |
| |
| ''"One thing I would like to do better next time (and advise students to do better in their first time) is time management: The programming part should be finished in a half time assigned to bachelor's thesis (even in case it is the main part of the master's thesis). In the end, it will delay and there will be a lot to correct and improve. The experimenting, evaluation, text writing and corrections (corrections!!!) will take more time than one expects. And even if it is not the case - then it's great, at least one is not stressed out from submitting at the last time and will have some spare time."''' |

An experimental NLP thesis usually consists of these parts: | An typical experimental NLP thesis usually consists of these parts: |

* Oficially required formalities such as front page, declaration of independent work, dedication, etc. Must be part of the thesis, must appear in the correct order and must look like EXACTLY like prescribed by the [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/bachelor-and-master-thesis/guidelines-for-writing-a-master-thesis|Guidelines for Writing a Master Thesis]].

=== Dedication === | I describe [[how-to-write-a-masters-thesis-content|each section content]] in detail on separate page. |
| |
The Dedication is usually one paragraph or two paragraphs sitting on an otherwise empty page in the beginning section of your thesis. It is basically a small Oscar Acceptance Speech in which you want to thank all those who helped you through <del>insufferable and horrible pain of sweating out some passable text</del> inspiring and enjoyable process of creating the work of your life. It is usually the most personal (or the only personal) part of your thesis. It is considered good manners to thank your advisor in the first place and then whoever helped you professionally. Also your parents and partner/spouse. You can go ahead with phrases like: | |
| |
* I would like to (sincerely/wholeheartedly) thank my advisor/parents for his/their ... (patience, support, ...) | |
* I am grateful to ... for ... | |
* I would like to acknowledge my colleagues ... | |
* Her/his/their patience/valuable feedback/insightful feedback/support/constant support/guidance/valuable guidance/counsel helped me with/guided me through... | |
* I could not have finished this thesis without ... | |
