    • @actionnotreaction1094
      @actionnotreaction1094 Год назад

      Hi! Thanks for the comment! Yes, I'd say they are mostly the same, with the caveat that for an academic paper the literature review/state of the art should be shorter, because your audience is (in principle) already familiar with the subject matter and there less physical space available. Hope it helps 👍

    😀I am Ahmed from Algeria, I am 51 years old. I would like to complete a Ph.D. in budgetary management. What universities can I accept and be less expensive and that provide training in my specialization? What is the way to convince the supervisor and how do I find a PhD project that is acceptable to my supervisor? Thank you....

    • @actionnotreaction1094
      @actionnotreaction1094 2 года назад

      Hi, Ahmed! I'm a Ph.D. student in Computational Mechanics at FEUP in Portugal. Budgetary management seems an interesting topic for a Ph.D. I got my scholarship from Portugal's National Science Foundation. Maybe there is something equivalent in Algeria. Also, check out the websites of Universities which may interest you because there are often calls for applications regarding Ph.D. scholarships. If you have a good idea about the specific topic of your dissertation within budgetary management, you could also write a nice document describing it and forward it to professors in the field. I'm sure someone will be interested in collaborating with you! The best of luck 👍

      1. Obtain PhD in Financial Management, within a budget: Usually these things are discussed later. Even if you later reveal that you cannot afford the fee, the "supervisor" (for the lack of a better term, because nothing is confirmed yet) may be able to recommend a cheaper route to PhD. It is like Mount Everest, people won't let you climb it unless you display some certainty that you are able to. If it is just about money and sincerity, there are master programs. 2. "Is the way to convince the supervisor": There is no one way. Ability to write is almost irreplaceable. Ability to publish is even better. Ability to communicate is not necessary, however I had convinced a member of the academia to supervise me on the first attempt. Communication problems surface much later. If there is a need to gauge Writing, Publishing, and Communication skills, I will rate my skills at that time to be W4P2C2. Judging from your writing (there is no other data), W2P?C?. 3. Get someone who knows your "supervisor" to vouch for your ability to publish. That seems to be the basic thing you can do. If your acquaintance is sincere, he would spend the time to assess you because he doesn’t want to embarrass himself in front of the supervisor. 4. As for the frequency-asked-question about research topics, refer to your future supervisor’s recent body of work. Any intelligent person would be able to guess the supervisor’s preferences and topics that the supervisor purposely avoids. Then the intelligent person would crossbreed his own interest and ability, and his future supervisor’s in order to come up with an agreeable research proposal. Even if that person's guess was not successful, at least he could still carry a conversation with his future supervisor. Disclaimer: Your mileage in your chosen country may vary or be completely different. I am just writing from my own experience and understanding.

    • @actionnotreaction1094
      @actionnotreaction1094 2 года назад

      Hey @Luis H Steuer Thanks for your comment! I created an Anki deck for each course unit, a deck for each year, and finally, a main deck for the whole electrical engineering course. I like this division because since I'm in the last year of the course, it wouldn't be practical to study an area of electrical engineering (like Circuit Theory, for example) without a more practical application like an exam or evaluation. When I want to study a particular course unit, I study the deck, and to increase the difficulty, I review a year deck or the whole electrical engineering deck. But, if I were starting Anki when I finished university, I would make a deck for each area and find a way to find the material easily! And then create a deck for aggregating that deck in a broader context (for example: Robotics -> Control Theory -> Signal Theory, etc.) To complement this answer, I think creating the habit of making your Anki decks, reviewing them often, and getting a sense of what is essential are the most important parts of not forgetting concepts and insights in engineering I hope you find this answer helpful! - Eduardo
