Do you feel as though writing your thesis is such a big task that you cant even start it or don’t want to think about it? Does it seem that a millstone is about to land round your neck? Or do you think it will all be straightforward?
Come and discuss strategies for approaching this writing task at this session. We will cover possible ways to plan ahead to make thesis writing more palatable, and how to break it down into manageable parts once you need to start. Also as a group I hope we will come up with some pointers on how to maintain a reasonable writing/rest of live balance.
The ideas that will be in evidence during this session have been collected over 30 years of supervising more than 80 PhD students who have faced a variety of different challenges during their doctoral studies.
