MSc Review Event: Thursday 29th April

Hi Everyone,

Following on from my earlier email to you all on April 6th (copied to you again today) - I now need confirmation of your attendance so I can notify the Faculty of who is coming.

A couple of you have already emailed me back to confirm your presence (thanks) - but I need the rest of you to do that ASAP.

If I do not receive an email from you, then I will assume you cannot come for legitimate reasons. We hope that all full-time students will be able to attend.

This is a VERY important event - and will only take an hour or so of your time - but we will be most grateful for you being available for that time.

I look forward to hearing back from you by email (if I haven't already) by Monday (26th) afternoon




Thanks
Mark

Statistics Video Tutorials

Hi Folks,

As you hone your skills for working on your research topic - one area you will need to think about is statistical analysis. Jane Boygle can provide advice (or your supervisors) - but in case you have not used SPSS before there are a series of SPSS video tutorials available to view at:

http://www.ukscience.org/videos.html

(scroll down to 'Part 3')

You can get a copy of SPSS (Windows only) from the University Library

An invite !

Hi folks,

I would like ALL of you to be involved with this blog - so you should be getting an invitation to be a blog author shortly. You will need a free Googlemail account -but you probably already have one when you set up your online CV (right?).

Video Podcasts on iTunes

Hi,

I will be putting a series of video podcasts on iTunes for you all - mainly skills and useful information.
Go to the Podcast area of the iTunes Store and put 'MMU MSC' or 'MMU MA' into the search-box (you will get exactly the same page - all MSc and MA vid podcasts are together).

It's a bit boring at the moment - just a how-to video on how to access online journals !!
You can also access the feed directly from the link on the right hand side of this page.

A free MARS BAR to the first person who identifies the creepy intro music I have used in the podcast !!

Cheers
Mark

Welcome Folks !!

Hi everyone,

I intend to use this blog as a means of communicating with all of you... and with staff. It is probably more efficient than email.

I will be using the blog as a means of announcing important news - so please check regularly.

Remember that there are many distance leaner and part-time students that 'miss out' on the social scene that you full-time hedonists enjoy... so please try to keep them in the loop here.

That is all from me....for now ;-)

Mark
