Research Development Programme
October 2nd, 2008I have finished another block of Research Training which covered the following topics:
‘Introduction to Project Management’
‘Productive Academic Writing’
‘Building your Career Skills’
‘Knowledge Ownership 1&2′
‘Getting Published’
Obviously each speaker had a unique delivery but overall they were very interesting and informative although some were more entertaining than others. Academia doesn’t necessarily have to take itself too seriously to communicate successfully.
Surprisingly the most invaluable of the training sessions was the Productive Academic Writing. The writing exercises which were incorporated into this practical class provided me with a new set of skills for my PhD. One of the joys of attending these training programmes is the opportunity to meet up with friends and colleagues who are in the same position, it is reassuring t know that we are all in the same boat!
