Читать книгу Fulfilling the Potential of Your Doctoral Experience - Pam Denicolo - Страница 8

We three authors thank every researcher who has ever attended one of our training sessions or talks. We are grateful to everyone who has shared their thoughts, comments, concerns and fears about all aspects of the doctorate with us and contributed during our sessions, and thus covertly to this book. Without them, we would have little to say. We would also like to thank all the anonymous researchers, whose contributions of advice and experiences will help many others. We are especially grateful to the following people for their expert views, honest reflections and words of wisdom: (first and foremost) Dr Alison Yeung Yam Wah, Academic Writing Tutor, University of Surrey, for her superb contribution of Chapter 4. We thank you for your incredible patience and for allowing us to share your expertise with the doctoral audience.

 Dr Laura Christie – Educational Development Officer (Researcher Development) at Royal Holloway, University of London, for her experience with mentoring.

 Dr Steve Clowes – Senior Lecturer in Physics, University of Surrey, for sharing his experience with impactful research and for general all-round support.
