Hi Joanna - I share your anxiety, I'm a year in too and wondering what progress is "reasonable", but I'm really trying not to compare myself to other students as it can make you so anxious/even paranoid. I'm pretty envious of halochanter for instance but in contrast - I don't have any data yet, I don't know what my research questions are/the scope of the study/and I haven't written anything coherent yet. I'm reading a lot and I am doing research method courses etc. My supervisory relationship is definitely not helping - at this point have just been asked to write an introduction, which am majorly struggling with, as I don't know what I'm writing an introduction to! I like the idea of having goals to focus on, am going to have to suggest that as our meetings always end with me feeling positive, but not knowing what exactly I'm actually supposed to do. Looking forward to see what other people think is reasonable too - as if you think you're behind Joanna, bet I'm behind you!
