Hello everyone!

I’m finishing my master’s degree and would appreciate your help filling out a short survey.

I’m researching people’s work behaviors. The survey will take 5-8 minutes to finish and you must be 18 years or older and currently employed.

Taking the survey is voluntary and no identifying information will be collected.

You can find the link to the Google Form below.

Reblogs are appreciated! Thank you!

Hey Haitch, what's up ? I need help and since you're : 1. One of the most prolific writers on here 2. You seem to be organised 3. I assume you have written a dissertation before What advice can you share for someone who has to write their master thesis pronto ? I have a terrible case of ADHD and just a mild interest in my subject, but I need to pump out 40 pages in 2 weeks so any advice is welcome Also you're the best, I loved your very clinical approach to analysing the JJK men's little swimmers

Heeeeeyyyy

I am NOT PROLIFIC, shut up.

I am organised you're right, thank goodness for ✨anxiety✨

I've written a couple, taught dissertation classes on a University level, and bullied Mr.Haitch through a PhD too.

So I've not lived with ADHD sadly. I can only tell you what I'd do.

Get over yourself. I don't give a fuck if you don't like your subject and I don't give a fuck if you find it hard to concentrate. Pull your grown-up pants up, give yourself a slap, and recognise that you either do it and do it well, or you fail. Once you decide that knuckling down is infinitely more palatable than failure, it helps. So, be your own drill sergeant for two weeks now.

Examine your thesis question/hypothesis. Imagine teaching this subject to a class; what questions are they going to ask? You're going to want to answer those. They're going to highlight some key themes to explore. These themes can be grouped into your thesis subheadings.

What does the evidence show? There's almost certainly a theme there; do sources wildly disagree? Is there a general lean towards one answer? What gaping holes are there in the research? Assess the provenance; what limitations are placed upon pieces of evidence based on their provenance? How reliable are they? What are the sample sizes of the studies, if this is relevant to your thesis?

ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE THOROUGHLY EXPLORED THE FULL EVIDENCE...what do you think, and why? What do you think lends strength to your argument?

Remember, a Masters Thesis is a DISCUSSION, an ARGUMENT-- it's frustrating arguing with someone who clearly doesn't know what they're talking about, so get reading babe.

Do your References and Bibliography AS 👏 YOU 👏 WRITE 👏👏 ...as SOON as you mention it in the main body of the text, reference it properly. You are on limited time so tidy up as you go along. The devil is in the detail. I advise the Harvard referencing system, it's the nearest and simplest.

Good luck. This won't be easy. I'm a glutton for punishment and I love a challenge so this is a bit of me.

If you have a moment of "waahhhh this is hard I hate it I feel sorry for myself", let it be just that-- a moment. Pick yourself up and get back to it. Do not spiral. Now is not the time. Spiral after, if you like.

Please note: I'm not that much of a drill sergeant with other people. The above is how I bully myself, and I do bully myself. I would never judge you for a breakdown.

Love,

-- Haitch xxx

So, publishing the Master’s thesis about Ghost has hit a bit of a snag. Because I quote 10 songs, some a great deal (looking at you, “Respite on the Spitalfields” and “Spillways”), I have to somehow figure out who to contact to figure out what I need to do to get permission for academic publishing because fair use is kind of questionable when you use lyrics in even an academic work.

I couldn’t find anything about who to talk to on Loma Vista’s website, so now I’m on their parent company’s website. The only way to contact them about this is through a licensing request form which is both intimidating and confusing. I’m going to try some unconventional means of contacting them to see if they will answer questions (like maybe try some of their socials), but I’m starting to lose hope on publishing this in an academic journal.

love doing things that have no priority but still need to be done so I can ignore my pressing responsibilities

yes this is about me doing the laundry instead of looking for thesis topics

Congratulations Sarah!

Yesterday, April 25, 2022, our former long-time Graduate Intern Sarah Finn successfully defended her thesis for a Masters in History on the production and publishing of the very popular The Naturalist’s Library, a forty-plus-volume book series published in Edinburgh from 1833-1843 by William Home Lizars and Sir William Jardine. Sarah not only used secondary sources and many different editions of the books in the series, but also contributed original research by analyzing the correspondence, ledgers, and scrapbooks of original drawings relating to this series preserved at the National Library of Scotland and the National Museums Scotland, both in Edinburgh, Scotland. Our head of Special Collections, Max Yela, served on Sarah’s thesis committee and attests to Sarah’s fascinating work. Click on the images for details.

Sarah received her Masters in Library and Information Studies from UW-Milwaukee in 2020 and is currently an Archival Projects Librarian at the Milwaukee Public Library. Now she can add Master of History to her credentials. Congratulations Sarah!

I've been really fighting writers block the last month, especially since I've injured my back and been pretty depressed. Today my study support group has really been helping me keep on track. I'm gonna try and finish editing the dreaded chapter 4 so I can write more of chapter 5.

When the source you just opened is actually relevant and helpful with perfect quotes so now you have to take a bunch of notes on it rather than it just being an easy way to beef up the bibliography

fellow fandom members;

my masters thesis has officially been approved for my creative writing degree. I am working on a title still, but it focuses on mental health in media, lgbt representation, and religious trauma. I have been approved to study stranger things, Hannibal, and bo burnham’s inside. the whole thesis will be 200+ pages long, but this paper I’m working on will be around 20-25 pages. It will be my creative statements as well as in-depth analysis on billy, robin, Hannibal, and gen-z humor (inside). Is this something you would want me to share with y’all when I can? Or leave it just within my masters program? Genuinely curious
