22		-Even in the age of modern communication devices, the basis of a good communication with your advisor is regular physical presence. Most of the time, we are in the fortunate position that we can provide you with a full-time desk, typically in the lab (1114/1115). Use this desk for doing your thesis work, and not your PC at home. A key communication instrument in the RTSYS group is the 9:30am tea, which you should participate in as well. One exception are theses that are done in collaboration with industry and where the industry partner provides the work space. In that case, you should keep your advisor here on track with regular progress reports. Usually, a short E-mail every 4-6 weeks suffices for that.

Sie sollten dem Betreuer also Entwürfe Ihrer Arbeit zukommen lassen, bevor Sie die zu benotende Endversion einreichen. Ihre Entwürfe sollten dabei aus Ihrer Sicht möglichst reif sein, müssen aber noch keineswegs vollständig sein. Eine bewährte Sequenz von abzuliefernden Dokumenten ist:
	28	+Chances are your adviser has already supervised one or more theses. Take advantage of his or her experience! Send him drafts of the chapters of your thesis before submitting the final thesis. Of course, the drafts should be as good as possible from your point of view. Your adviser can only improve your drafts so much. If your draft is of low quality, (s)he can help you push it to an okay-ish level; but if the draft is already of high-quality to start with, (s)he can help you achieve an excellent result. Note that your drafts need not be complete yet: you can always hand in missing bits and pieces later on. Here's a schedule that has proven to work well regarding when to hand in what.

	64	+Submitting a draft of your complete thesis **before** the final submission gives your adviser enough time to find problems and gives you enough time to incorporate corrections into your final thesis. This doesn't only improve the quality of your thesis, but also satisfies your adviser.

	85	+More often than not, you will write code as part of your thesis. To make sure that code is of a certain quality, it must be run through design and code reviews. The way this works is explained [[on this page>>doc:KIELER.Review Process]]. The reviews are not only intended to improve the quality of your code, but also to give feedback to you as a programmer to help you improve.
