    I am going back to do a masters in Sept. and I really want to step up my game regarding my academic writing/research methods primarily, however, I also need to improve on presentation skills.

    Is there anywhere in the Dublin area that offer workshops in this? I know DCU off these, but it won't be until later in the year, usually around November, and I want to get a hold on this ASAP so I am well prepared for Sept.

    Thanks:)

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I found this Aussie blog really helpful. http://thesiswhisperer.com/useful-resources-for-students-and-supervisors/
    Bought her book on kindle too, quick and helpful read.
