The 2004 Hunting Act made hunting with dogs for sport illegal in the UK. This includes fox hunting. The Conservative Party has stated that if elected in 2015, they will hold a vote in Parliament to potentially overturn the Hunting Act. However, polls show that 80% of the British public support keeping fox hunting illegal. Students were interviewed and most did not support making fox hunting legal again due to the strong public opposition.

The document discusses the process of creating a music magazine and analyzing conventions of similar magazines. It summarizes:
- The author analyzed magazines like Rocksound and Kerrang to learn conventions like mastheads, cover lines, and layouts.
- For their magazine cover, the author used many typical conventions but challenged some by keeping the cover plain and having a centered masthead rather than left-aligned.
- Through research and a survey, the author determined their target audience would be ages 15-24 of both genders interested in rock music. The magazine aims to be similar to Kerrang and Rocksound in attitudes and content featured.

Probation Assessment 2013 Marian petre
1. Probation assessment is a formal review process that typically occurs 9-12 months into a PhD program for full-time students or 16-22 months for part-time students. It involves submitting a probation report, presenting one's research orally, and participating in a mini-viva.
2. The goals of probation assessment are to review student progress outside of supervision, provide documentation of progress, allow students to communicate their research to others in their field, and provide additional evaluation to support student progress.
3. Key components of a successful probation include developing a clear research question, conducting a critical literature review to identify gaps and situate one's work, proposing a feasible and rigorous research methodology, and
Graham Harvey Reviewing the Literature Presentation
The document discusses key aspects of literature reviews and critical thinking in research. It covers 3 main points:
1. The purpose of literature reviews is to position the research question within existing knowledge and motivate the research through a critical review of prior work. This helps establish "one coherent overriding 'story' argument".
2. Papers should demonstrate a balance between citing existing literature and presenting their own analysis and voice. It is important to show how the research contributes something new.
3. Critical thinking involves justifying the research through clear evidence and a logical chain of reasoning. More emphasis is placed on intellectual maturity and critical depth than the specific findings.
Regine Hampel Probation Assessment-2013
This document provides an overview of the probation assessment process for PhD students at the Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology. It discusses the purpose and elements of the probation assessment, including the project report, skills audit, mini-viva, and probation form. The document also outlines the probation timeline and process, from developing the research question and literature review to presenting the project plan and undergoing the mini-viva.
Publication Workshop Linday O'Dell
This document summarizes a workshop on writing and publishing led by Dr. Lindsay O'Dell. The workshop aimed to provide information on reasons for publishing, the publishing process, and types of publications. Key points included that publishing contributes to knowledge, benefits career development, and improves with experience. Early-career researchers should consider publishing conference papers, reviews, or reflections to start building their publication record. When selecting a journal, researchers should consider readership, prestige, and relevance to their field. The workshop concluded that publishing during a PhD is generally beneficial but should be done collaboratively with supervisors.
Probationary assessment session.doc
The document provides information and guidance on the PhD probation process, which involves submitting a probation report, participating in a mini-viva, giving an oral presentation, and summarizing skills development in order to be formally accepted into PhD candidacy. It outlines the purpose and requirements of probation, describes the key elements that must be included in the probation report, and offers advice from students and supervisors on navigating the probation process.
Writing and Getting Published Fiona Doloughan
This document provides an overview of a session on writing and getting published from an arts perspective. It discusses learning from research on academic writing, which found writing is a social practice that varies by discipline. Tips are provided from mid-career academics, post-probationary students, and recently graduated doctoral students on their experiences with and strategies for writing and publishing.
Getting Published (MCT) Claudia Eckert
This document provides guidance on publishing academic papers. It discusses why publishing is important, what types of papers one can write, where to target publications, when researchers are ready to publish, who should be authors on a paper, and how to go through the publication process. The key steps outlined are identifying a publication opportunity, framing the paper and its contribution, writing drafts, getting feedback, handling revisions, and submitting the paper before a deadline. Conferences are suggested as a good starting point for getting feedback, while journals have higher standards but provide more lasting recognition. Supervisors can provide guidance on positioning work and navigating the publication process.
Progress Report Science
The document outlines the probationary assessment process for research students including the requirements, deadlines, and outcomes. It discusses submitting a probation report summarizing the research question, literature review, and research strategy by month 9 (part-time month 18). It also requires a mini-viva by month 10 (part-time month 20) and an oral presentation by month 10 (part-time month 20) to confirm the student and project are on track. By month 3 (part-time month 6), an initial skills audit is due along with a development plan and progress file updates by month 9 (part-time month 18). The outcomes of the probationary assessment are to pass, pass with conditions, or de-register.
Exploiting information 13
This document provides information on exploiting library resources to support literature reviews and staying up-to-date in one's field of research. It discusses how a good literature review clarifies understanding, places research in context, and identifies relevant methodology. It also outlines bibliographic tools for comprehensive searching, citation searching, and record keeping. Finally, it introduces email alerts, RSS feeds, social networking, and bibliographic management tools for continuously tracking the latest research.
4. Defining Origin
The document defines originality in research by listing criteria from two sources. Francis (1976) describes originality as setting down new information in writing, continuing previous original work, or providing a unique technique in an otherwise standard work. Phillips (1992) defines originality more broadly as conducting empirical work never done before, making new syntheses, applying existing methods in new ways, bringing new evidence to old issues, or examining undiscovered areas. Both sources agree originality involves advancing knowledge in novel ways.

1.The Meaning of a PhD
Having a PhD means you have developed original research that contributes new knowledge and ideas, and can communicate these findings effectively to an international community of peers. To earn a PhD, one must have a strong command of their field by evaluating other research, discover a useful area to contribute new insights, and apply appropriate techniques while following ethical research practices, all while working within a changing scholarly environment.
