Preparing for a new semester - Ep. 79

PhD Talk

In today's episode, we look at how we prepare for an upcoming semester. Eva explains which tasks she usually carried out before each semester, in terms of getting all material ready for teaching and in terms of planning.
We dive further into the topic of reflection on progress, and how often we (would like to) do so. A monthly review may be over a time frame that is too short for the nature of research. But when we don't teach, we also don't really feel the structure of the semesters.
Finally, we also discuss how each semester is different, and how the semester itself has its ebb and flow.
