hi Janet and all I was going to suggest various in the pocket study skills series - they are superb bitesize chunks of really practical knowledge, tips and key facts. I reckon new UG or PG students can always benefit from these, and they aren't off-putting for size or density. I'm nearing completion (hopefully!) of an edtech PhD and when I started (even as an ex snr lecturer myself), as well as during the MPhil upgrade process, the one for completing a PhD was invaluable. Btw anyone know of any good jobs or research ops to give me a tip on, I'm keen to hear from you :) Pen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pen Lister MSc MA MBCS FHEA penworks.net <https://www.penworks.net> | @penworks | skype: penworkz On Wed, Jan 9, 2019 at 6:36 PM Janet Godwin <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > With an admission I have an interest here...
