I started a new subreddit for UK based academic discussion.
Hope this is allowed. This is not to promote myself but a different though relevant subreddit that I hope people from this community, from the UK and elsewhere, will help to participate in and grow in order to promote information about UK based academia. The subreddit is: Hope its a good start and hope to see it grow. I'd be extremely grateful of any and all help and advice anyone is willing to give. I have never created or even moderated a subreddit before and so your comments are much appreciated. I will be updating the subreddit very soon but for now there might be little there.

Those who served as a hiring chair. I have a question for you!
It's been 3 weeks since the deadline for a faculty position has passed. Is a follow up email a bad idea? Certainly don't want to annoy the chair. If it's okay to follow up, any suggestion on how to write the email? TIA! Submitted February 28, 2019 at 04:10PM by sscientist via reddit https://ift.tt/2VnFLNO

Has anybody ever had a mortgage accepted whilst doing a PhD?
I am likely starting a PhD in October 2019 but don't want to live in student accommodation as I want to get a dog and have a bit more structure from day to day. Ideally would involve buying a house but my only income would be 15,000 annually from funding. Anybody have any advice?

Just making fun of conference organizers
I attend and present at conferences a lot, so you might say I know "the drill". It's my first time attending this particular conference, however. So it's in three weeks and today I got an e-mail reminding me to send them my presentation tomorrow at the latest. I was very surprised about this because on the one hand it's not common practice in my field to hand in presentations by e-mail in advance at all and on the other hand it's in three f*ing weeks. I don't even always start preparing my slides until two weeks before the conference, unless I have to crosscheck the presentation content with advisor, funding party or IP-department. None of which is usually the case for me, so ugh. Care to share your experiences with arbitrary rules or policies conference organizers come up with to make your life hard?

I enjoy taking course on my own time, where can I find quality course structures that I can use to base my own lessons on?
The title says a good amount of what I want to say, but I feel I should further clarify what it is I am looking for. I deeply enjoy learning, and try to take as many courses at my institutions as I possibly can at once, often having to write appeals so I can take on extra courses. With this I also do my best to put together a plan to complete on my personal time, and I model it as if it were from an institution. I really enjoy this practice, and working through my designed studies but I tend to have trouble getting a quality structure for a particular course. Normally what I do is decide on what I want to learn next, right now it is a Intro to Logic. Upon deciding on a topic, I then detail if I will need prerequisites or if i can dive right in. In the current example with the Logic course, I have taken multiple philosophy courses in the past so I dove right in. With a more complicated topic I would create a course plan that would build up. Once I have decided on the topic, and whether or not I need to take preemptive course, I begin looking for materials. This is where I am looking for assistance. There is no shortage of textbooks, but it is very difficult finding a quality book. In a normal college setting, the professor has a required text that they feel best fits within the lesson of that they are teaching. With that suggested book, there will also be some resources or course plan. These will often be listed on the syllabus, stating week-by-week what will be gone over and any major resources used. I have no issue using the templates on college websites to line up which courses to be taken in which order, but as for the content of those courses I want to ensure it is quality. Often I ask my friends that are in school to save their syllabus', course materials, and course outlines so that I can take them and use them for my personal studies. That way I know that the materials are in some way credible, reliable, and proven to a degree. I have amassed a decent amount of materials, books, and courses from a variety of colleges, universities, and schools but my collection is not all too extensive. I am trying to create a full course plan for myself that could be sufficiently compared to what one would get when enrolling in a college or university. I plan to set up a schedule of courses to be completed in semester increments and that will slowly build over time. If this is not the proper place to post this, I apologize and I will post it wherever it is appropriate. But any advice, suggestions, or input would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy to further clarify if needed. Submitted February 27, 2019 at 04:30PM by afhlidh via reddit https://ift.tt/2IHG2cU
