Much to my dissappointment I havent found one phD student in any seminar that has written a paper :-( the university really doesnt encourage us at all, so I've started to pester my supervisors about guidance on writing my first journal :-). I feel a little nervous..as I don't know where to start.. could anyone help me please?
What is the difference between writing a conference paper and a Journal paper? Are journal papers better for your academic career..are there any sites that could help a beginner in journal paper writing?
Thanks Xx Donut
Hi Seabird, thanks for the advice - your right it is to do with office politics which is why i'm having this panic about the finish time. It's been an ongoing problem. Yea, Ive made it clear that I want to finish before the deadline time, but I always have this sneaky feeling that I'll be delayed even more now that I'm putting all my effort in. Its been numerous times Ive quit a job to put in 100 percent to be then let down by my supervisors. Ive even changed them and its the same. It all boils down to the university.. I'm going to find out the answer to extension without supervisor support!! Xx Donut
Hello all,
I'm full time and having a nightmare now that I know my expiration for phD completion is approaching - Jan 2009. It leaves me with just over a year to go. That in mind I was wandering as anyone here got to their expiration date and had trouble to extend it? How do you go about extension as I was under the impression it is only given under mitigating circumstances?
I ask because I have had a lot of trouble with supervisors in the past, I've changed them but I feel I'm still being delayed. Four years into the course I don't feel I want to change uni now..with only one year to go. I really want to complete it!
Maybe i'm just having a panic attack but its starting to stress me out. I'd appreciate any advice :-) What precautions should I take? Well I'll definately be aiming to finish in time but my university is full of office politics and i've some bad experiences thats making me panic..donut X
Hi H (hugs) nice to see you :)!! Is DanB here? Wheres sweetpea, sylvester..coastman hello !!
Tricky I guess i'm just fed up because 4 years have gone thanks to a nasty director of studies, ive only just got the ball rolling. Now im feeling pressured coz its my last year! Which leads me to a question... I might put on the board later :) X
Hi pea, Ive been playing sims for years and years. I would say the original Sims was much more addictive! Sims 2 has kind of bored me, even tho it has more interactions etc. I only play it for the build mode. Its all I ever play it for funnily enough! Hours can be wasted on it :-/ !!
The Baggage being the PhD *moans* oh gawd why oh why can't it just end. Anyway for those who don't remember me (yet) I'm donut in London 26yrs, studying tourism. Anyone else out there in a similar field? Anthropology, leisure, tourism..
Anyone else here just plain fed up as moi? Its been so long since ive been here, I bet everyone who I used to talk to have completed theres!
Errm sweetpea, Tricky, H, hello... are you there???
