To-do list

Deliberately separate from today's other post so i can find it more easily...

In the next week i need to:

• transfer a lot of my bibliography into endnote (must do on campus as haven't got it at home);
• finish up ethics statement and add bit about all the lovely skills i've learned this year;
• make neat versions of both the above to display my great word-processing skills;
• print a clean copy of my powerpoint slides for presentation skills (with a w-p'd version of my last conference paper?)
• Sort out my CV and press release, along the lines given in the relevant workshops.
• Think about something to do for research planning and time management (another statement? dissertation timetable, since i'm ahead with that?)
  
• check how many skills need to be included in this portfolio!

With the above, i'll be able to show evidence of development in:

• library skills (search of library catalogue, e-journal databases etc, very thorough because i did this for my post-representation society chapter)
• building a bibliography
• presentation skills
• word processing - 'harnessing the power of MS word', the workshop was called
• CV writing (although i haven't had an interview, so can't show anything there)
• Media awareness
• Awareness of ethical issues
• Research planning and time management
• Observation and ethnographic research (subject to being able to do some observing...)

Stuck on what to use for:

• Interview skills - extremely relevant compulsory workshop, but i haven't interviewed anyone so far!
  
• Problem exploration in research - the one where they make you do a fingerpainting of your research project. This is something i do every damn day, but all i have on paper is a few scrappy mindmaps. Could transcribe one of those onto e-mindmaps... (or just show this blog entry!)

Don't know if i need:

• Poster presentation skills, since the class was mainly aimed at scientists and it isn't a skill i'm ever likely to use.
