Dissertations

[leighleigh45]

Hi guys, 

I'm doing my dissertations project on the sponsorship of music event and I would really appreciate it, if you could take a few moments to fill out my questionnaire to get your opinions of the sponsorship it would be really appreciated !!

Thanks   

[russycarps]

how many are you doing?

36+ age group again.  Not doing this one.

Hi guys I'm also doing a dissertation. It's about the mathematics behind cross tomography (CT scans), I have no idea what's going on does anybody want to do it for me?

Thanks

[grumpyhack]

Done but only because I've nothing better to do.  I hate heavily sponsored events, like the IoW Festival, but accept that it's just one of those things that helps pay the festival bills.

Problem is that crap festivals have crap sponsors.

All my favourite festivals have no sponsors but rather charities that they work with and support.

(Jono I've had a lot of CT scans but don't think I know anything about the maths behind them).

Done but like grumpy hack I'd nothing better to do, very poor survey.

We need a survey section on here somewhere with the facility to provide feedback directly to the teachers / lecturers / examiners.

I thought everybody knew that a CT scan, also called X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) or computerized axial tomography scan (CAT scan) makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual 'slices') of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.  Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of the object from a large series of two-dimensional radiographic images taken around a single axis of rotation. Medical imaging is the most common application of X-ray CT. Its cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various medical disciplines. The rest of this article discusses medical-imaging X-ray CT; industrial applications of X-ray CT are discussed at industrial computed tomography scanning.

The survey introduction should be something like: "I'm studying Event Management at the University of Old Holborn, even though I've only been once to Reading and have just discovered EFests.

"Your responses will be broken down by age and sex, although the age range categories only go up to 35 because after that you are considered over the hill and much too old to have an interest in festivals or music."

All the questions must be ambiguous and with no room for comments.

The survey must be so vague that no meaningful conclusions can be drawn.

Correct.

HI Everyone

Don't worry I'm not a new member with a survey that needs filling out, just my twopence worth to throw in about various subjects.

Surely, nobody actually does a dissertation survey do they?  You write the questionnaire, pretend you gave it out, allude to your responses (with a 'surprise' result or two) and prove or disprove your hypotheses as you see fit.  Am I the only one who did this?

Or base your dissertation around readily available data... E.g. census... IMD... British household survey etc...

Worked a dream for me too Surely everyone makes up most of their referencing too...don't they?

Those teachers / lecturers / examiners.don't do thinking any more than the students do.

From the emails I get, plenty are telling their students to come and spam here, which only causes those requests for festival-goers input to get deleted.

I've thought about creating a forum for surveys, but that wouldn't stop the spamming. I tell people who contact me that they're welcome to post but not spam (and they'll get deleted if they do), and they still spam.

Funnily enough I'm clearing out my Posh Shed and I've just come across all the assignments I did for my PGCE.  Cram packed with references - and not one book that I'd actually read.

Naughty naughty....I did it in a BA and a Masters...I did read some books though Grumpy!

I was the 'social secretary' in our year and on the last day of the course we all adjourned to the Students Union with our tutors - having cracked two bottles of bubbly in class first.

In the evening we were all going out for a group meal so some went home to change and others just carried on drinking in the union bar.

To pass the time I gave everyone slips of paper to complete and put into a hat.  They were then pulled out and read out to the group.

One sheet to complete was: "My confession of the course is ........."  And mine was that in a year I'd never read a textbook or been to the Uni library.  One of the tutors was horrified.  But then another student confessed that he'd not been to the library or read a textbook either.  And we explained that we hadn't needed to because the course materials and handouts provided by the tutors were so good and comprehensive.

My admission couldn't have been that bad because I both passed and then got hired by the Uni to teach for them.

Fourier and Laplace are your friends at times like these.

Yeah that's what it mainly is :(. I've just barely done any calculus since being in University in favour of pure maths so this project is a bit of bastard for me as I don't really even know the basics. Like this is the 4th page of some 60 page report I'm reading about it and it only gets more and more complicated. I literally have no idea what like 3 quarters of the variables are meant to represent

You could have posted a survey :-)

No wonder the country's going down the pan. Bloody students, etc etc mumble mumble grumble grumble...................

I have been throwing out hundred of course files and handouts, which I've used teaching for the past 14 years as part of the clear out of my Posh Shed.  But I couldn't bear to dispose of all my old PGCE course materials (when I was the student).  It was fascinating to re-read one assignment looking at the likely future direction of adult and community education where I concluded that the, then, Education Minister in Wales should be sacked.

Sadly, not a lot has changed but a lot has got worse.

About a year ago I attended a funeral of an old friend and it was quite a re-union of old mates.  One said to me: "I'm glad I'm at the end of my career and managing my landing rather than at the beginning and worrying about my take off."  So true.

I just spent a couple of minutes looking through this particular questionnaire and a couple of others on here.

It strikes me that these nippers need to worry a bit more about their piss-poor English usage than anything else.

What happened to teaching grammar and spelling?
