As a doctoral student with two part-time jobs, I’m pretty busy. I’m always looking for ways to save time, particularly on tedious tasks. Last week I was signed up to present my doctoral project in a semi-formal environment, an after-hours mini-conference, so that I could get feedback on my ideas. I know my project well. […]
