Query about when to stop research and start writing-up?

I think it looks like USA want to be the only country in the world with weapons. They just want to scare all the countries out of testing. Testing missiles is one thing, actually using them against someone is another

Damn, I hate americans

Query about when to stop research and start writing-up?

I am not in my final year, so I don't really know. But I would have thought it would be a joint decision, you would have an idea when your research is enough, and suggest so to your supervisor, then they may agree or disagree.

I suppose you need to look at the whole package, would the final thesis be sufficient? in a viva will it be easily uncovered that you really could have done more? are you happy that your research is complete? is the contribution to knowledge you provide worth a PhD?

Hope this helps, as I'm not in your position, so am just giving off a few ideas.

even your apologies are boring!!!

Do you think that the attitude problem you demonstrated in most of your posts explains your no-friend situation? no-one likes an aggressive person that acts as though the world is against them.

Try a more positive outlook, go on, your first ever friend could be just around the corner, and you never know, perhaps a girlfriend (unless you like blokes or animals), but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves

Is best to do one's post graduate in the same place as one's under graduate?
S

It doesn't matter in the slightest. If you stay at one university all your academic life then that my show that you are not flexible or adaptable, but I still doubt it matters.

Not this bloody thread again!!!!

the amount of posts have surely got to be a record, I vaguely remember someone going for 100 posts for a record. If that was the case, then this thread pisses on that

Shame this hasn't worked out for you, hope things get better in the near future.
