Hi

I am just starting writing up my thesis and I am wondering if anyone could suggest any good resources that make this process a bit easier? In particular, I am looking for useful phrases that I can use in my text. Thesis is going to be science based.

Thanks for helpful tips

Sorry I didnt wanna boast or anything. It was just a question what other people think about this point raised by my advisor. Obviously I am lucky because I have a great supervisor, never could have done this on my own!

My field is Computer Science, and I cant wait to go back to industrie after the PhD. I assume there the publications dont count so much...

of course u can pass with zero publications but
with 3 publications u can defend yourself and say
a lot of reviewers in this field thought you did
some good pieces of work. Could be difficult if you dont have
any

I am just wondering how many publications did anyone had when submitting their thesis? My supervisor told me I need at least 3 to be "sure" that I will pass the viva. I have reached this number now plus an additional one from 2 years ago during my MSc time. He reckons two more and I am there. Any other experience?

If I have to feel bad that I got so much help from my supervisor...
In some way he had many great ideas that I realised than and got good results out of it which resulted in quite some publications.

In some way I think I should have come up with some ideas in the meantime but if I have then one this kind of work was already done. So I dont know if I am worth then the PhD at the end....

Hi

I am doing a science related PhD and I am in the program a little bit more than one year (14 months). Until now I have 3 publications and my supervisor already gave me an outline for my thesis. He said some more work on two topics and some more publications so that maybe I can finish in one year. The problem is, that the main inspiration for most of the work until now came from my supervisor and my ideas have only contributed in bits and pieces. Do I have to feel now like a "fake" where receiving the PhD? Or should I feel lucky that i have such a great supervisor who helps me out that much...
