| Intriguingly, there is even an official deadline for ''Recommended period for deciding master's thesis topics'' in the oh-so-important [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/academic-calendar/|Academic Calendar]]. As of 2022, it was Feb 11, just three days before the official start of the summer semester. It is only recommended, though, but gives the idea about the expected timing. | |
| * **1st year summer semester:** Having agreed with you supervisor, enrol to the first of the three master's thesis courses in the [[https://is.mff.cuni.cz/|Study Information System (SIS)]]. Most of the communication with your supervisor is conveyed via email, with preferably regular, but sometimes occassional meetings in person (replace person by zoom in covid times). In this semester, you will likely get acquainted with the topic: You will be assigned some scientific papers to read, probably learn new technologies, get access to computation grid, etc. At the end of this semester, your supervisor will grant you credit for the first master's thesis course. | * **1st year summer semester:** Having agreed with you supervisor, enrol to the first of the three master's thesis courses in the [[https://is.mff.cuni.cz/|Study Information System (SIS)]].

| * **2nd year winter semester**: Again, don't forget to enrol for the second of the master's thesis courses. In this semester, some serious coding usually happens. If you haven't started in the previous semester, you will probably design experiments, guided by your supervisor. You will implement code for these experiments, run it on the computational grid. If your thesis is more practical one, you may implement an application. This semester is very busy and if your topic was chosen well, it is usually (at least mildly) fun :) At the end of semester, you will be granted credit for the course. | * **2nd year winter semester**: Again, don't forget to enrol for the second of the master's thesis courses.
