RMF2010 Abstracts


Session: 62 - Thursday 8th July PM (14.00 - 17.30)

Title: Career development: beating thesis blues and writing a good research proposal

Name: David Shemmings

Affiliation: University of Kent


Abstract Details

All research students hit rough patches. Workshop 1 focuses on diagnosing the cause of thesis blues and suggesting positive action strategies to get over them. It is based on many years experience of thesis supervision and research into doing and supervising theses. The workshop is very practically-based.

Many research proposals are not well-written. Workshop 2 considers poorly explicated research questions, methods insufficiently related to them, and literature reviewed not connected to the research aims. These problems can be overcome, leaving you better placed to secure money! If you want to get your proposal funded, attend this session.
