請大家別忘了寫工作紀錄

大家做不同的研究問題, 進度又都不同, 還是做個簡單紀錄, 這樣我比較好記得大家的狀況.

忙碌中, 也不用急著要自己寫太多, 就是重點地寫--
針對哪項研究問題, 做了什麼事, 成果如何, 執行注意要項

這樣即使是lab meeting中也可以做紀錄提醒自己呀

讓大家羨慕一下

大~~~發現
發現宜蘭薄餅竟然有鹹的
而且是三星蔥喔
三星蔥ㄟ
我一個人吃掉一盒
你們沒有吃到, 好可惜呀 :-)

應該與喜歡

台灣人很客氣, 總是想著別人.
這讓這地方很溫馨, 但是如果是選研究題目, 就有點ㄦ辛苦加危險了.
總是要研究生挑自己喜歡做的研究題目來做為論文題目, 因為要陪著過漫漫長日, 如果不是喜歡的題目, 會做得很痛苦, 或者是做不下去.
但是, 研究生常常會揣度指導教授的意思來選"應該"選的題目. 結果調呀調的, 變得好像是在為別人做論文, 做得很痛苦, 不知道如何做下去, 還覺得為了成就指導教授的想法, 所以要努力撐著.
學位論文是研究生自己的, 不管聽了多少別人(包括指導教授)的意見, 以後, 妳/你的小孩還是會說: "爸爸(媽媽), 這是你(妳)的論文耶", 應該不會說"這是你(妳)和你(妳)指導教授的論文耶".
~~大家千萬別再客氣囉~~
