Hello everyone
I'm glad to help everyone out with the spreadsheet. Now, can I ask the list a couple of questions - requests.
I'm a faculty member in a design school without a design degree (education and linguistics/anthropology- -PhD/Masters) - I supervise and mentor/support design doctorate students, write a little here and there and publish on design BUT I'd like to get myself (in as short a time and as cost effectively as possible) a postgrad dip or masters in design without a heavy residency requirement and allowing for some kind of multidisciplinary project work in either the broad built environment/environmental area or technology-based projects (possibly with a contextual design activity centred approach). (BTW as long as noe one expects me to actually be good at Fine Arts and draw a perfect circle I can manage any darwing programs you have). Any opportunities for fee waivers or scholarships is/are important. I speak several European languages if relevant. Any advice appreciated.
The second appeal is for anyone else who wishes to at this junction - and particularly those who have recently received the spreadsheet could they consider filling out my survey on coursework and research in design doctorates.

I do realize that one person has made an observation on the local (australian) 'jargon' of the questions including the term 'portfolio' (Q.17 - which is really about the possibility of cumulatively building the doctoral submission through the course of the program rather than writing up at the end) although most of the 86 respondents to date have managed to make sense of the questionnaire - the textbox for clarification is a great place to express your queries etc. everyone of the questions addresses an issue about cwk/research articulation which has already been raised in the research literature. I have this entrenched desire to reach 100 (just one of those numbers that I can't let go of).
So, two requests and any responses appreciated
