Hihi, I was talking with my supervisor the other day and she told me to manage my time properly so that I can finish my studies on time. I'm currently taking MPhil (Accounting). Also, she advised that consistency is very important.

I'm actually a part time student (full-time working as a lecturer for the pre-uni department in the uni...teaching hours is 20 hours per week). Anyone of you here is actually taking PhD/MPhil on a part time basis? How do you ensure that you will always be consistent in your study?

For e.g in my case, when I have 4-6 hours of class per day, normally when I got back home, I will be too tired to touch anything on research already How do you motivate yourself to get up and get it done?

Early thanks for sharing advise/experience.
I need to learn from my fellow seniors here.

minimum 8, maximum 16. (If add consultation...will be 22 hours)
This sem i am given 10, next sem 16 hours

I can't go full time~~~ no one support...so I cannot pay undergraduate study loan, car loan...

Hmm, im teaching mathematics, and my research area is corporate social responsibility. It doesnt match huhu

Yea, thought bout that before, but i am not teaching statistics zzz. The maths im currently teaching is mostly on algebra, log, probability...boring stuffs that has nothing to do with my research. But your idea is good though

now im doing my data collection.
But even during data collection, also need to do write-ups right?
If no, later last minute, bertungkus-lumus wanna write a whole thesis

Edit: Yups, I have my theoretical framework already. Any ideas on how you manage time during this stage?

Hi Dreamer,

I teach 5 hours per week. Yea, I do actually do research on weekends, but it doesn't seem enough.
I tried to do on weekdays, but a whole day teaching took so much energy to the point that when I went back home, all I wanna do is just rest, relax and sleep

ahh, i am actually planning for 1 paper during my data collection.
Hopefully I can do it though. Good for you that you are on a full-time basis.

as of now, i already written everything except for my data analysis part. I have not collected enough data yet.

I dun think so man..continuing my data collection next week though. Hopefully by end of april i can do my analysis already.

wow, good to know that there is someone who has had the same experience as I am. How many hours are you teaching per week?
