I spend a lot of my time revising research proposals, making sure that questions are realistic and correctly framed. I find myself regularly saying they are too large or too grand or too many. Questions need to be realistic, acheivable and engaging. So, I can hand out the advice but when it comes to my own for the PhD it has not been as easy.
I had 6 of them which included reviewing far too much literature and to be frank were full or jargon. Leading by example, as you can see.
And yet, we had a very painful tutorial back in November on how they need reframing and I have spend a lot of time revising them. I also added some definitions of the terms which I am using. All good but I found the whole thing incredably personal and challenging: I now know how my academics feel but I need to learn that it is my argument being attacked and not me.
