So I’m still a lowly ‘Provisional PhD Candidate’ until I’m told otherwise. To become a PhD Candidate I need to submit my conf doc to a small group of academics (my readers) who will decide my fate: Am I on track to producing research worthy of the Dr. title? Do I need a few more months and a bit more guidance? Or maybe I’m just not cut out for a PhD.
The conf doc is ten pages with a few sections:
- Proposal (i.e. “What are you gonna do?”)
- Literature Review (i.e. “Surely someone has done it before?”)
- Feasibility (i.e. “Is this even possible?”)
- Importance (i.e. “Will anyone care?”)
- Funding (i.e. “Don’t ask for more money.”)
- Timeline (i.e. “How long will all this take?”)
- Work Completed (i.e. “What the hell have you been doing for the past 12 months!?”)
I present in two weeks on Thursday 3rd June at
