Hi there! I look forward to talking with you. Please add new topics at the top of my talk page. I usually respond here rather than across talk pages. Thanks :)
[edit] Research question
I usually ask emerging researchers in the early stages of theses to brainstorm a series of possible research questions for discussion. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:06, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Good idea James. So far I have one emerging out of my last blog post: How does open education and research develop in an Australian university? Other posts relating to the PhD under the OpenPhD tag. --Leighblackall 02:54, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] User:Leighblackall/PhD
I'm looking forward to seeing this page develop 
. Are you thinking PhD by publication? This might be possible. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 07:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi there JT.. firstly, could we put new threads at the top of the page, rather than the bottom.. I know its not standard.. maybe I'll come around.. not so far :)
- PhD.. ! well, the first step for me is to find out more about what a PhD is. So far, all I know about it is it has been a long and painful process for almost everyone I know, and that it more or less sucked the life out of them! I don't want that. Another thing I know is that it is a gateway to better employment, a sad truth I suppose. I also expect it to lift my methods disciplin and understanding of research.. I have an idea to diarise work done here at UC and see if I can come up with a model for developing organisational staff abilities with contemporary internet.. something like that anyway. Looking for synergy with what I'm doing this year.. --Leighblackall 02:26, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I follow your "PhD-quest" as well :) I am just suprised, that you guys on the other side start with the PhD so (at least for me) late. Anyway, I wish you a good luck with it (, but frankly, looking to your blog and other achievements, I don't think you will need it ). --Gbaor 09:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
