kareinaI had my first Durham "annual review" today. I am currently at the equivalent of nine months into my degree (compared to a full time student), and they were happy with my progress thus far, and they had two great suggestion for me.
1) they are going to give me access to all of the recorded undergrad lectures that the department has (which are normally only available to students enrolled in the class) so that I can catch up on some of the background info I am missing (Karen feels bad for not having thought of this sooner, and has already sent the list of classes to the person in charge of that, asking to give me access (I got a copy), and
2) I should skype into the "reading group" that meets every so often to discuss recent archaeological papers, so that I can be a more active participant in the department, and get the benefit of reading and disusing papers with colleagues.
