I find the absence of the nice chair a prob when I work at home (which is rare, so it doesnt matter)

I have a netbook which is nice..except it doesnt have a DVD/CD drive - any laptop will do I believe

Guys,

So the bleak period of job searches (bleaker for international folk, but am ready to relocate anywhere in Europe or the States) has begun. Many placed ask for sample course designs. I was wondering if you guys had any insights on these questions -

1. If not specified, and merely asked to design courses you would be 'willing to teach' would you design something for a course they already have (a bit silly) or suggest a new course?

2. How would you go about it? Would you look at existing similar courses in other unis and design something on those lines?

3. How detailed would you get?

Many thanks!!

Arrgh KB you poor thing.

Will it help if I say I am sitting in 28 degrees sunny Celcius by the Arabian Sea right now? ;-)

But am dreading returning to icy UK on 6th Jan!

I have won this. End of.

Leaving UK on Thurs for a whirlwind 3 weeks across 4 cities meeting school, college, uni friends, teachers and family !! Yoppiteee!!! :)

Thanks you guys :-)

Cannot believe am writing these words - but just submitted my full first draft.

9 chapters, all 8 to 9 K words each.

Yes, very rough, very quick, very flawed, but a draft right?

It's been a crazy 2 years 2 months of a PhD life - FT phd, 3 and at one time 4 jobs which had crazy European meetings sometimes 3 times a month.

And no money for all this money went to pay international fees.

It feels unreal.

So unreal. It's 3 am, perhaps I should sleep.

Have PMed you hun :-)

Totally depends on the supervisor. And the supervisee. Am very close to mine, totally respect her, and have grown to share lots of silly thoughts and stuff (she recently called it my gibber gabber) in addition to intellectual seriousness. And yes, send her nice quotes or stuff and she sometimes sends too, and pics of her kittens.

Should add - she is an international superduper star in my field, but v v v v approachable and friendly.

:-)
