Updated list of projects

Dear all,

Please note some changes on the list of placements and their outlines (Moodle week beginning 02 April).

Three new ideas have come in (project ideas 40, 41 and 42).  However, these new ideas are offered as MSc projects not as placements.

So, those of you who are not doing a placement  may wish to consider doing project ideas 10, 40, 41 and 42 as their MSc projects.  If you are interested please let me know.

Thank you,

Kosta

Student Supervisor List

Hi All,
Thanks to those of you who made it to Dr Lim's lecture today.....especially those who turned up on time!
I gave everyone the list of who their appointed supervisor was.
You can download the list >HERE<.

You should email your supervisor this week and make an appointment to meet up (next week) to discuss your chosen topic. There are only 4 more weeks of taught lectures left (including this week) before you effectively begin the MSc dissertation....there will be a final weekly session with Steve Hoon talking about the MSc dissertation unit after Sustainability & Global Systems finishes.

Thanks
Mark

MSc Dissertation: SUPERVISORS

Hi All,

I will be releasing information about your MSc supervisors this week (which member of staff has been assigned to you) and what steps you need to take soon to prepare yourself for the dissertation stage.

I will see you for about 20 minutes AFTER your EG7519 (Sustainability & Global Systems) lecture...and I will put the documentation up on this Blog and the main PG web page (http://www.ukscience.org/pg/) on Wednesday too.

Cheers
Mark
