Hi All,
Great posting, Pip! I think it is important to
understand a few things about the draft staff Mode PhD
I offered as a catalylist for discussion:
1) There is no supervisor - this is not a supervised
mode and the only feedback is from an Advisor (in my
case Judi Marshall) pre examination
This is why I'm (still!) trying to get a clear
unequivocal stament of the standards of judgement with
regard to LETs which are so favoured by practitioner
researchers in different contexts thanks to Jack and
Jean.
2) Are we suggesting that without a supervisor a PhD
thesis is unlikely to succeed? Incidentally, just to
clarify my thesis was examined under the wrong
criteria and as such did not fail. I waited three
years for re-examination as the Appeals Committee
invited for examination as if for the first time - for
whatever reason suitable examiners were not found.
As I wrote a couple of days ago I will be analysing
the responses to my posting with a view to to
identifying the SoJ relating specifically to LETs -
and I'd deeply appreciate any assistance before
discussion moves on.
Warm regards,
Sarah
