Dissertation Project 2008

Things are starting to move

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 14:44:00 +0000

After sometime working on the topic. The Topic is going to be

"The Organization Of Projects
Within multinational construction industry consultants, in South Australia."

A Very Long title, but it helps keep things on a specific track

Most of my resources, i.e. books, journal articles, text books websites have all be found, and some have been read. Have found a lot on writing thesis on my University Website.

There is even a special class every two weeks especially for writing the thesis, where they outline the specific details of writing a thesis. Not yet decided if I need to go as I think it's more for masters by research, while I am doing masters by course work.

My research proposal is mostly written, might need a little reworking, but for the most part it's done.

Just need to get the ethics a approval finished, the topic has changes slightly from my earlier topic, and part of the ethics approval just need to be updated, this might take sometime, will have it finished soon.

Australian Digital Theses Project

Found this website today, it is a project run by Australian Universities to make Theses available online. The theses are all in pdf format. After some searching quickly came to the realization that the topic of Project Management is not well represented on that website. The website may provide same interesting examples, but I suspect not much more.

More Text Books

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:24:00 +0000

Got some more text books today, some looked very good, although most just cover the topic in some more or less generic manor, in many ways when a book is 300- 350 pages, the topic is basically covered, no matter how complex. Thus getting more text books really does not add much , so I need to look though them and pick out the better ones and I may have to return some of the not so good ones.

My Personal Dna Report

Text Books

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:23:00 +0000

Finally, have got hold of a number of text books, including a copy of "A Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge: Third Edition. 2004

Haven't really had much time to look through the text books just yet, saving that for Sunday, and maybe Monday. By Monday the project time line will be in place and will be able to start to plan things better.

I am now enrolled in my project dissertation course, the university servers where down for maintenance, I guess they have to do maintenance sometimes. So I had to what for a while. Any way it's all done now.

File Widget

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 14:27:00 +0000

Just found a great way to save files to this blog. This will come in handy for those files that need saving, and need ready access too from any where.

Useful Programs

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 10:03:00 +0000

From time to time, my Laptop PC needs to be re-formated. The problem usually results in having to find all my useful programs again, So I spent today finding them all, and to make it easy to find them all again, the links are posted here.

Good News

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 06:54:00 +0000

Good News the Course Coordinator emailed back the new subject codes, this is good as it's just saved a trip in to Uni to sort out the problem. Now I can go ahead and enroll the the subject.

Enrolling

noreply@blogger.com (DG) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 13:42:00 +0000

After some hours trying to enroll on the Uni's web enrollment page. I have come to the realization, that the Uni has the study periods for the study in the reverse over. Thus I have not been able to enroll as the system, realizes that it's not possible.

Wrote a email to the Assistant Course Coordinator for Project Dissertation. Hopefully eveyrything will be corrected quickly, so that I can get library borrowing rights back again. For some reason, all library access is available, however book borrowing is tied to study enrollment, thus at this point in time it's holding me back just slightly.

Due to my expert resourcefulness, I just found and gained access to a number of project management texts from another source. True some of this source is both very useful, but at the same time it's also not. Either way it's another source. Sometimes excessive amounts of useful information, is not useful.
