Graduate Research News

September-October 2022
 
Despite the cool, wet start to Spring things are well and truly coming to life here at Charles Sturt with more and more of us returning to campuses and three great face-to-face faculty conferences coming up! If you can possibly get to the conference for your faculty I would strongly urge you to do so. It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet with colleagues, share your research and learn from and be inspired by others. 
There is some financial support for domestic travel and accommodation so check out the details below.


Another great way to meet fellow researchers and chat about your work is at the Lunchtime Research Raves. Hosted by the PGSA and Researcher Development these informal sessions are held fortnightly on a Wednesday at 12.30 and alternate between various research support services and graduate research candidates presenting their research. Come along and join the Rave!

The next issue of GR News will be published on 26th October and contributions from staff and students are most welcome. We especially love to hear about any student achievements such as publications and appreciate any photos as well.
Please send them to ResearcherDevelopment@csu.edu.au by COB Monday 26th September.  

Best wishes,
Jennifer and the ReD Team

A candidate contribution

Finishing the PhD: The final push
By Rebecca Hilton and Sally Mordike
 
There’s a sense of excitement in the air!
You’ve finished working on each of your chapters, you know the overall shape of your thesis, you’re emerging from the details of your arguments and realise your thesis is coming together as a whole. You’ve just about finished your introduction and conclusion and have a real sense that you’ve created something interesting, unique and important. As you start to see your thesis as one whole, coherent document, the end really is in sight! You could finish this in the next six weeks! After so long, and so much work, you may, actually, be handing this thing in!

And then reality hits. There is still just so much to do.

So much to amend, to refine, to check, to double-check – bits to re-write for clarity and bits to simply delete. You must combine your chapters into one document (argh – what if, when doing this, it stuffs up all your references? or you accidently delete a vital section? Or your formatting fails?). You know there are some grammatical and spelling errors that you ignored while you were in the ‘flow’ of writing – but where are they? You’re overwhelmed by everything that’s swirling round in your head, and this is stressing you out.
 
So as you approach the final weeks of completing your PhD, what are some practical strategies you can use to help you stay grounded and focussed, and attend not only to the beautiful ‘big picture’ but the necessary ‘nitty-gritty’?
  1. Plan your days.
Yes, you’ve heard this from the beginning of your PhD, but using this practice now will really help keep stress levels down. By now you will know the best time of day for you to concentrate: use this knowledge. Do you find you focus best in the mornings? Block out 9.30am to 12.30am each day. Are you a night owl? Work from 7pm to 10pm. Schedule shorter sessions in the afternoons. Whatever works for you, run with it. Now is not the time for procrastinating, so be accountable to yourself.
  1. Write stuff down.
Although making lists doesn’t work for some people, jotting things down can help you to clear your head of ‘things to do’ so you don’t stress about forgetting them. Make yourself colourful templates: ‘Things to check’, ‘Questions for my supervisor’, ‘Things to do when I’ve put everything into one document’ – whatever you need.
  1. Ask for feedback.
Increase the frequency of supervisor interactions, if that is what you need now. Be explicit about your needs, and when and where you’ll next meet: This is not the time to vaguely say ‘I’d like to talk to you again soon’ – be specific. At the end of each meeting, arrange the next time together, and ensure it’s in their calendar as well as yours! (And if your supervisor has a lot on, you can gently remind them via email two days beforehand: “Hi Jim, really looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday at 4pm, in your office, to discuss Chapter 5 feedback. See you then!”) Clear communication helps set realistic expectations for both you and your supervisor, reducing your stress levels, and helping you move forward to completion.
  1. Organise proofreading and formatting of your document.
Do you have a good friend who will give your thesis the detailed reading it needs? Do you need to find an external editor to help you format and proofread the entire document? When will you need their help? (Be aware that a good proofread of your thesis will take them time, so ‘booking’ them ahead means they can plan their time, and not keep you waiting.) One tip is to print out a draft, and then have the computer read your thesis aloud to you as you follow along (Office 365 allows for on-line reading). Small but crucial typos or missing words can be picked up this way (for example – is it meant to be meditate or mediate, on/of/or? If the word ‘not’ is missing, it can significantly change the meaning!)
  1. Save and back-up.
Save your work every hour. Back up your documents every day.
Just do it. Without fail. (Do it now.)
  1. Give people around you the heads-up.
Let your family/those you live with/colleagues know what’s going on for you, and what your needs may be, and what you don’t need. ‘Hey guys, I’m at a really crucial stage of finishing my thesis, and the next six weeks I’m going to be totally absorbed by this. So want you to know I’m going to need you to do meal prep and keep the house clean. This is short term - this is my final push – and once I’ve handed this in, I’ll be much more available! So please bear with me, and help me keep things calm as I finish all this off. Thanks for your support.’ Remember, it’s okay to say ‘no’ or to put non-essential things off till later: this is YOUR time.
  1. Be kind to yourself.
You’ve done so much hard work, and the pressure you feel now at the culmination of your PhD is both normal and expected, albeit overwhelming and a bit scary. Seek support from others who understand what you’re going through. Schedule in a walk and nap each day. Eat as healthily as you can, and ensure you get good sleep. Doing all this will sustain you for these final weeks of effort.
 
And remember: You’ve got this. Whatever happens in the future, you can wait and deal with it then. But right now, this is what you have to do, and taking it one step at a time, you WILL get there!
