Hi guys,
I have some questions and I hope as many people as possible can contribute with their experiences. Although, I have heard some conflicting advices but would be grateful for advice from students who have already passed their first and second year.
I will start my PhD in life sciences from this October and how can I progress into my second year? Of course it depends on research and reading but this 'Nine Month Assessment' by the end of first year sounds terrifying. I am a bit worried about not passing the first year and progressing into my second year (don't ask me why because I don't know).
Any tips on research background, on the first year report and how it should be, presentations, first year viva' s, or anything else would be great.
Thanks
Dear All,
Can you guys list the name of all the 'good' books you think have helped or are still helping you throughout your PhD?
Anything on statistics, viva, thesis writing, presentation, exam preparation or anything else you can think of would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks
