The Academic English reviewing feedback for all* submitted introductions (21/11) is now available on Lisam. (If you did not receive a notification from Lisam, please check with your team mate who submitted.)
Explanations will be given in the feedback lecture (12 december 15:15 on zoom), where you also can ask individual questions to our AE reviewers in the extended break, in the corresponding zoom breakout room (see your Lisam feedback who reviewed your introduction).
Lisam's numerical grades are mapped to grading-rubric colors as follows: 1 = red, 2 = orange, 3 = yellow, 5 = green.
NB This grade is for Lisam-technical reasons only and does not affect UPG2 passing, and no resubmission is required for Academic English feedback (even if red or orange).
This grade is for your information only - use the feedback for revising your ETP before submitting for UPG1 in January.

The second half of the final lecture of 12 december, starting at 16:00 sharp, will, among other things, explain UPG1 requirements and early steps in the real master thesis process, such as the upcoming IDA wexupp registration deadline for spring 2026 external thesis projects.

* all submissions except for one case of detected non-permitted generative AI use, where correction is postponed until the case is decided by the LiU disciplinary board.

Due to multiple requests, I will stream today's lecture from A1, including the subsequent short introduction to the "Student's critical thinking" test by the colleagues from IEI.
You can find the zoom link (Lectures link) on Lisam.

The slides from Shelley Torgnysons guest lecture (17/11) can now be found on the Lectures page, and also in the Lisam cooperative area (in folder "Academic_English"). Some additional material (on useful linking words, for self-studies) is also available in the Lisam folder.

The division of seminar groups is now available in the Lisam cooperative area.
Please check the PDF file seminargroups-D89-2025-by-LiUID.pdf (requires Lisam login) for looking up your seminar group; your group's theme (topic/method area number 1-8, i.e., the sample thesis to read) and your seminar group leader.
Seminar group names (A1-A4, B1-B4, ..., H1-H4, I1-I3) match the group names in TimeEdit (A, B, ..., I) for the seminar sessions.
You can easily find the other teams in your seminar group in the PDF file seminargroups-D89-2025-by-group.pdf (requires Lisam login).
Group folders (Seminar1/A1 - I3) for collecting the preparatory material for Seminar 1 have been created in the cooperative area.
We will shortly enter the groups in webreg for UPG2 (seminars).

A shared spreadsheet for finding a team mate for the seminars has been set up in the Lisam cooperative area for the course (login required). Information will be given in the first lecture.

As in previous years and as listed in the course syllabus, the mandatory-attendance seminars and two of the lectures will be given entirely on distance (zoom) also in HT2/2025, due to more convenient group work on text documents via screen sharing in zoom and due to shortage of rooms that would be suitable for the seminars.
Lectures and seminars will be given live and will not be recorded.

We started updating the course web pages for the coming instance of TDDD89 HT2/2025.
By and large, the 2025 course will follow the same structure as 2024.
All course information and instructions will be given here on the course web page. We use Lisam only for group cooperation in the seminars and for submission, and for non-public documents (e.g., zoom session links).

Från och med HT2024 är TDDD89 valbar även för Y i Termin 9, enligt studiehandboken; från och med HT2025 även för I. Detta kan passa bra i enstaka fall, dock inte generellt för Y / I.
Vi vill påpeka att kursen TDDD89 är avsedd för studenter med ett datavetenskapligt fördjupningsområde (främst från CS, D, U, IT, Idata) som ska skriva ett master-examensarbete i detta fördjupningsområde. Kursinnehållet och materialet är upplagt för denna målgrupp.
