I think I understand what Otto is trying to say but in sciences, posters are very useful, not sure about the non-sciences though...?

No, quite the opposite, thats why I was wondering....

It's freezing and grey in Sheffield!

PGFT were you at the Red Deer at lunchtime today?

Definitely don't do another a Masters unless it is a requirement.

I know of at least one person who did one Masters and then moved onto another Masters. It sounded like they did this because they couldnt find a PhD position and they didn't want to work.

my parrot can say hello, she has an old woman voice. She also has a funny cackling laugh.

I miss not having a pet at uni
I'm really jealous, I want a cat or a dog

Ooh, that makes more sense! Thanks 404, useful for me too!

Thanks 404!

I'm going to talk about the work I did in my first year. However I wrote 28000 words for the first year report so a bit worried about how I will put down all the things I need to.

I think the important thing is to get down my method in a way that is understandable, I sometimes confuse myself when trying to explain it.

The big question is:

WHO strangled the Pakistani coach Woolmer?

Scarey stuff...

India needs to beat Sri Lanka but they probably wont as they are being rubbish.

Would be nice to see Ireland beating the Windies!

I'm doing my first poster soon and was interested in what people did to make their posters stand out more, or more understandable etc.

Thought it would be an useful thread to other people as well!

What kind of layout do people go for? I'm in Sciences but it would be interesting to see what humanities/social people have to say too.

Unless it has been modified and you went back to check, just change both dates.

Oooh how annoying.

The date in brackets is the date the article was published, so it doesn't make sense to say you accessed it in 2005 but it was only published in 2007!

Copyright dates shouldn't matter to be honest (legal stuff is always being updated). Just really when it was published and when you accessed it, thats plenty of info.

It's funny that someone can't spell research

If I told you, I would have to kill you

yay!

I've very much into automating as much as possible! Saves time!
