Question about Endnote

I tried unformat citations, but it took all the footnotes out as well, which I need to be able to look at GRRRR

I have a very good distinction Masters and the PhD is NOTHING like it - the research (both in terms of content and style) is much MUCH harder. I completely agree with Apollo - I would never advise anyone to do this who wasn't sure.

Sorry, meant that in a lighthearted way - not trying to be rude!

LOL @Piglet

I worked very hard for my Distinction, but still managed to do it with a PT job. Exam preparation is key - write lots of practice essays and learn them. And spend a lot of time on your assessed essays. I certainly didn't work 9am-11pm everyday and TBH I think if you find you are working those sorts of hours you should reconsider how you are working. Excuse the cliche, but think quality not quantity. I was probably putting in about 5 hours a day when I wasn't working (including time out for Judge Judy and Emmerdale and usually less on the weekends).

I wouldn't use the MSc in everyday life, but I would use it on official documents. Lots of PhD students don't have an MSc and it is still an achievement

I worked as a political lobbyist between my MSc and PhD - nice salary which helped pay my uni fees!

Urges are great...especially if they involve Alan Rickman!

Addressing supervisors online

Different academics expect different things - I usually go by how they sign their e-mails. I address my supervisor by his first name because that's how he signs his e-mails

I think you need to narrow down your academic area to decide which is the best uni

Have you done anything unproffesional or stupidly inappropriate?
