Professor and post doc made a research grant based off my phd
So, I'm at year 3 of my phd - finishing off. Without going into too much detail, my phd was making a design - manufacturing process for a specific application in the engineering industry. It was an ' umbrella' / over view of sorts, out of which at least 5 totally new phd research areas can be opened up - the words from my prof. Last year. Fast forward to now, we got a new post doc. His job was to write a research proposal based off my work. I had 0 involvement In this - we have bi-weekly meetings where I presented my work but this was alone way street - I got absolutely nothing back. Today my friend, who just started his phd, told me about the proposal and it is literally 90% exactly what I did in my research . Both the post doc and my professor are not experts in the field I'm in - I am the expert (also his words ,that he is more skilled ina/ managing and finding people). They're basically doing what I did,except with industrial partners (4 in total) which means when by the time it's done,it's obviously will be way more refined than what I did. For context, during my phd I worked on 3 different research projects which contributed nothing to my research as well as teaching. My phd was on the side. Last week I presented my update to my professor, I was really happy with the progress. his reply - oh, you're doing too much. This has to be for the next person. He also said I should stop and think about finishing in the next month or so (Originally was planned for next year). So it feels like he doesn't want me to develop what I've been developing for the last year's, so that the next person after me can claim this. So, now I'm in a position where I feel like I am competing against my own department. Where I have to continue work in the lab secretly because my prof wants the next person to DO MY IDEA. Is this normal ??? Is the job of the Post doc really just to take the work of phds and be a proposal - making machine ???? I would be fine with this but again, this is all behind my back. I am absolutely out of the loop in this proposal making - as far as I know, this idea is going to now be credited to my prof / ppst-doc who maybe set foot in the lab three times.

Any issues with duplicating figures / maps in extended abstracts as well as electronic supplemental materials?
I'm in the process of preparing an extended abstract for a computer science aligned field based upon a fair amount of material that appears in the supplemental materials of a manuscript still in preparation (minimum one month out from complete draft, two to three from submission). The text is being condensed and rewritten so I'm not too worked about self-plagiarizing myself on the writing front; however, at least one, if not two of the figures need to be included in the extended abstract to provide appropriate context and communicate the results. My understanding is that extended abstracts occupy a bit of an odd space in terms of publication and copyright since they aren't published, but may appear in proceedings. Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of in terms of the using the same figure or map in an extended abstract as well as supplemental materials to a manuscript?

Adding personal information to a letter of interest?
I’m currently applying for an RA position in a lab that studies spinal cord injuries and treatment etc. I have some personal experience in this matter as I’ve also had a spinal cord injury in the past. Is it appropriate to bring this up in a letter of interest? Is this way too personal and unprofessional? Or could this make me an interesting candidate that has a strong personal interest in the research? Submitted March 31, 2021 at 04:28PM by zebrafinch7 via reddit https://ift.tt/3ugi9fH
What to do when think received higher score than should have?
There was a situation when writing a long written assessment that led to it having parts (even pages) that were written solely by a professor who was assisting me. I explained this in a declaration but I don’t know if the assessors saw it. Students don't receive assessor feedback so I can't find out if I had marks deducted for including someone else's writing. It's been eating me up that the assessors might have believed I wrote those sections and didn't take off marks for not having written those parts myself. Cuz the course has finished, the course convenor says they cannot tell now if the assessors knew about this when they were marking. Does anyone have any advice for me and what I can do now? Do I just hope for the best and assume they knew? Is this a plagiarism problem? Or breaking another rule? Are professors allowed to assist that much? Do I report myself? Who to and any advice on how? I feel stuck. I feel like I don't deserve my degree and feel guilty using it and can't use these grades to study further. Am I ruined? Will I be banned from further study? Any help? Is there a better place to ask this on reddit or elsewhere? Submitted March 31, 2021 at 03:11PM by ValuePatient1356 via reddit https://ift.tt/31whfzg
Unoriginal master thesis and problem statement dilemma
So a some time ago I asked my professor for a master thesis topic and he gave me couple of options. Clearly not part of an ongoing project, the topics only consisted of a title. He asked me to write a 2 page proposal on one of the topics. I chose one, and read quite a bit. Now I have some idea about the topic, and wrote around 2 paragraphs for the background. However I am finding writing the problem statement part quite challenging. I do not actually have anthing to add. The research has been done. I can only replicate it. I can't answer the question why I am conducting this thesis. As a result, I've been staring at the titles "Problem Statement", and "Theoretical Framework" for a long time, doing nothing. I am confused, and don't know what to do. I don't want to ask my professor, even if it's useless, I want to have something to show to him. It's been over a month since I've talked to him. Every thesis I've read, it seems like the writer is claiming they are actually contributing to the aggregate knowledge of the topic. Yet, some people around me say that master thesis is not that important and doesn't actually have to add something new. I don't know. Never wrote a thesis in my life. Passed every class and project easily but this part is killing me inside. I've never experienced such a depressive episode. help what do :( Submitted March 31, 2021 at 02:38PM by rodoestchen via reddit https://ift.tt/3cCUm3B
Professor/Instructor/Lecturer judgement on student grades?
Hello all! This post is catered towards those with the titles listed above, but I am open to all opinions and thoughts. As a Professor do you actually keep in mind the grade a student has in the class and consider that when they speak up in class. Do you more closely observe the “smarter” students or the lower performing students? This is something I have always been curious about. I am finishing my BS in Marine Science, while I won’t disclose my University I will say Marine Science is one of the more rigorous degree programs there. As with some degree fields in undergrad (and perhaps above) there are some students that just simply shouldn’t be there wether due to lack of effort or lack of content knowledge. I wonder if Professors develop opinions of these students that they take into consideration not only when grading, but the way they treat students in class. I see it in some of my Professors when I look out for it but they all try their best to remain impartial, or so it seems. TL;DR Do professors judge students based off of academic performance or ever talk about their students among each other?
