PhD adventures at the University of Glasgow. Posted February 8, 2009. Filed under: Out and About. As I’ve just spent my weekend working through developing ‘scaffolding’ for my thesis, along with catching up on a bit more marking and reading for my next chapter, I though writing and posting something pithy may make for a nice break both for me, and anyone who’s been reading my ego-centric postings. Learning how to Teach. Posted January 28, 2009. So, I’m going to have to get over this. It’s somewhat th...

So, exams are done, Spring-Session course-work (and marking) are done, and I have free time again…. 8230;to work on my thesis. On the bright side, at least I work on a laptop – so, on those sunny days, I can write outside. I hope, if you’re reading this, that you too are having a warm, happy and, if you’re in my boat, productive summer. Laquo; Being on the Other Side. Still rolling… ». 1 comment so far. I’m Mor...

PhD adventures at the University of Glasgow. Being on the Other Side. Posted April 19, 2010. Filed under: Personal Life. So, it’s been ages since I’ve updated this, and that is largely due to the lack of available hours in a day. I’ve discovered that 24 just doesn’t work for me. I was greatly flattered by a student who approached me and said that he found I was more accessible and understanding, probably because I was still a student and understood a bit of what they were feeling. (And he reads this ...

PhD adventures at the University of Glasgow. Dreams, goals, and education. Posted March 8, 2009. Filed under: Personal Life. Do you settle for the easy-route, the realistic goals, or do you go for your big dreams? The conversation of ‘so what are you going to do with this degree’ is, strangely, one that hasn’t happened in my family.
