You were right about this book. Thank you very much for posting about it. I am a part-time student, and it is a while ago since I started. I got this book soon after I’d seen your post about it and so far I am really enjoying it and still learning a few things. Certainly very useful

Congratulations! It’s good to see that LinkedIn can be useful. I am desperately trying to make make work to fit my research, not that easy as I first thought it would be.

Congrats from me too. How exciting and what a fabulous potential topic: persistance. I agree, being involved in the environment you are styudying makes sense and I’m hoping it works for me too in the coming year.

Onwards and upwards.

Congratulations! Great to hear you’re moving forward with both work and the dissertation. (Paid) work often forces us to get organised and establish routines. Good luck!

Comment on Offering Extra Credit by Bill Guinee

I have been considering only offering extra credit for students who have a grade of A or B at midterm. I feel that students with grades below this need to spend more time on “normal credit.” This would give the hard workers a better chance of making an “A”, which is admittedly difficult in some of my classes. The assignment, as you indicate will be a real assignment and not just free credit.

Comment on Why are you going to grad school anyway? by CB

Interesting post, looked at from an Australian perspective. Academics here would be *delighted* with an actual time allocation like you describe.

Ours would be more like: 50% admin, 45% teaching, 5% research if lucky. Most research is in practice done in ‘free time’. Naturally the accounting is different for the ‘Big Men’ who dominate our public perception of academics, but who are actually a tiny minority favoured by the management spivs de jour. But most academics in Australia are basically expensive admin staff.
