hey marie, what kinda research are you doing? maybe i can help a bit. we could discuss on how you can move forward iA.

some supervisors expect us to publish at least 2 papers (conference etc not counted) before graduating for phd. i heard that it takes a while for elsevier or ieee to publish your paper. so, trying to publish after finishing the experimentation would definitely be too late if we try to graduate within the stipulated time of 3 years. any tips on how to accomplish this feat? thanks :)

lol maybe he's just exhilarated. u know, the kinda rapture one gets after just completing his phd. personally, i dont see the need of highlighting this particular info simply because everyone else has a phd.

in fact, some might say that it's a form of thinking fallacy called "appeal to authority" where one believes that having a phd makes his opinion more valid than others, which is just plain wrong. an argumentation should be measured by its own worth and not the supposed ethos of the speaker. :)
