Hello,

Ok, so I'm doing this analysis, and I'm stuck with this one; can your round working experience of the participants?
e.g. 3.2 years to 3 and 3.7 years to 4 years?

Ok, I just presented my topic and one of the panel members was really trying to put words inside my mouth. The person was really focusing on X part of the research and making it seemed that the whole research is just X (which is of course not good for the research : /), where as the actual research is X, Y and Z. Of course I disagreed with the person and what I did was simply explained further about the actual research.

The person commented that I shouldn't be dismissive about it...
Urm... why is it that "disagreeing" suddenly equates to "being dismissive"? : (

Thank you Keenie!

One of the comments the reviewer stated is that I need to change the formatting of the paper; strange though that the formatting doesn't follow what the publisher has said to use : /

Keenie I have another thread about dismissive/arrogant/just plain grumpy kinda topic; hope you could give some input there too! : )

Ok I just got a blind paper reviewed by two examiners; overall, my paper is accepted; the first examiner stated that my paper is very good but I need to clarify certain bits of the paper; the other one went the inverse of that and went overboard with the criticisms and it's as if they want me to redo the whole paper!

Is this normal? Any views why these two extreme views are happening? : /

If a person has a PhD in area X, and suddenly, giving comments to a candidate that is in a completely different field, Y, such as; "this is not Y!"; is the person allowed/qualified to do that?

I was this in this room where this panel member said the exact same thing as the above and that panel member is not even in the field! How so that the person can give such judgement?
(The person's job at the time was to check the writing aspect of the thesis)

Any opinions?

I'm writing my proposal at the moment; do I need a "Problem Statement" section? I'm confused with the Introduction and Problem Statement sections. They seem to be the same. Some authors just put the Problem Statement directly under the Introduction.

Help : (

Hello,

I'm trying to find (to no avail):
"Proof Techniques in Graph Theory" (F. Harary Ed.), Academic Press, New York (1969).

Hope someone could help me.

What is actually the difference between:
-Journal
-Proceedings
-Conference (something)
-Reviewed Papers
-Papers published in a Uni Journal (are they not good?)
-(anything that I haven't listed down)

: (

I have read some websites and they seem to have different (and complicated) explanations of them.

I'm not sure which one is the "best" to refer or to cite. I tend to say that I got it from online libraries and these libraries are "famous". Famous for what I don't know :$

I also still don't understand what it means to have a "quality" references or papers : /

Anyone? Please : (

I save it in my external HDD : ) How about you?

That's good to know. Thanks.

How are you doing Doc? : )

I noticed that (sometimes) it would be better to do research with a lot of related references to refer to, is this true?

Any opinions?

Was it long? how many pages?

I'm a bit worried that it might be too short/long : /

I know it depends on the field, but I just want to have an overview.

I think the title says it all : )

I normally (force myself to) take the weekends off from research work.

How about you?

Do you feel off days are important?
