Hi Till,
Sorry I haven't answered this yet.
I have been busy with organising and invigilating class tests and today am tied up in
meetings for a funded project, and as expected, one of them is running over.
@Leonhard Lades<mailto:l.k.lades@stir.ac.uk>, could you please take the lead online
today?
By the way, it is becoming increasingly clear that Wednesdays are challenging for me, as
most work package and project meetings tend to be scheduled on this day.
Best,
Mirko

Hi all,
I'll join online for the meeting today.
The MSc Thesis development session was moved to next Tuesday March 25th 1pm to 4pm in room
3a142. See message below.
That means we have time for our usual Lab session. I would like to take up some time to
get feedback on an experimental study Margaret, Glenn (both cc'd) from UCD and I are
working on. We will share the survey on Monday next week and it would be great if you
could do the survey before the lab meeting on Wednesday.
See you in a bit,
Leo
To give you all time to present for 10 minutes each, we have a three hour timeslot. We are
provisionally booked for rm 3a142 from 1-4pm (email will follow if this room changes).
Please send your slides to me by 9pm Monday24th March, with the naming format
[yourname.ppt] It is up to you how you wish to use your 10 min presentation time. A good
model is to treat this as an opportunity to sensecheck your dissertation proposal (which
is ungraded but is a very useful document). Here is an overview of what is required of a
dissertation proposal (criteria are in parentheses): One model would be for you to present
7-8 slides that correspond to numbers 1-7 above. We recommend you also include a slide
with a graph depicting hypothesised results. In the proposal itself, we expect that about
half of the up-to-2000 word total will be devoted to describing in as much detail as
possible the methods and analyses you will employ. We will be able to give you more
precise feedback if you come to Tuesday's session with two or three slides describing
in concrete detail your methods and analysis. (The analysis slide could be a copy and
paste of a pre-registration such as that we did for the 007 experiment). Don't worry
if your dissertation idea seems to you to not yet be at the level of development that you
could immediately graft it on to this template. It is normal that some students will have
ideas that are not sufficiently settled that they can present them as concretely as is
described above. But for those of you who already know more or less what your
dissertation is going to measure, you will find you make a lot of progress by spending
some time over the next few days expressing your ideas on to the template described above.
There is no requirement on you to present slides according to this template, of course.
But merely going through the exercise of thinking about your research through the headings
above will serve to clarify your thinking, identify blindspots, troubleshoot weaknesses
and help you identify opportunities. Looking forward to seeing your presentations on
Tuesday 25th
