Can I get a Lecturing Post without a PhD?
V

Yes you can but below degree level.

Feel like a fraud!

That's because you have expectations and are a perfectionist. How you do isn't good enough and you always strive to do better. That's how you got on the PhD in the first place. If you feel the other projects and seminars are getting in the way of your PhD, explain this, because your PhD is what matters most.

yr 8 of thesis - someone's bought out a book with v similar ideas! what do I do?!

This happens a lot (even to Darwin). The best thing to do is to point out that someone had come up with it first and you're verifying it (plus add extra evidence if possible to show new discoveries).

Wait another year a good idea??????

You have to have proof to say that James (ie a report). I'm dyslexic and I couldn't have gotten a 2:2 without extra help given because of it. I never heard of anyone able to complete a degree and then finding out they're dsylexic (it takes away the whole problem of dyslexia in the first place).....

Shang it varies between unis.
