So far… So… So… something!
My RTP scholarhip/Stipend kicked in on the 8th of January and I have been working on my PhD full-time since then. I WOULD say so far so good but that is not 100% correct. I should admit right now that I am not 100% clear on what goes in what section of my PhD thesis.…

Half an update!
It has been a while so I’m just going to attempt to write an update on anything and everything! Perhaps one journal article at a time! The hard part is I can’t remember what I have written previously and what I haven’t! Apologies if there is repetetion! I actually don’t have time to get into…

Getting close now!
My confirmation report is due next Wednesday and that is a bit surreal. At the same time I know that I should not overthink it. They just need to know that I wasn’t born yesterday, that I HAVE in fact done some reading, I do in fact know some stuff and that my project is…

TAFE project
I mentioned the TAFE project with Dr. Susan Emmett (Sue) in my last post so I thought I would give the full story now. Sue and a number of FedUni academics did a small survey in 2016 of students that had come from TAFE and entered FedUni with at least one unit credited. They presented…
