Students and Graduates!This first session of 2022 covers a time travel to the origins of the Ph.D. dissertation where it emerged from a discussion of ideas between students to be presented at oral presentations in universities before a panel of professors who were the presiders and promoters of oral ceremonies during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, to printed versions to be read by academics, and then modelled to the German style of modern thinking and rationalisation as a work of research from the 19th century onwards.It also covers a brief look at the adoption of the German PhD dissertation model by other universities in Europe and in the United States, a look at different structures of conducting a PhD research, and some examples of famous PhD dissertations that contributed to the existing knowledge.My apologies for publishing at this time as the month of January was the period that I had to marking undergraduate assignments due to my teaching assistant role at Swansea University, and my apologies as well for any changes of my voice tone and for some English spoken words that may be imperceptible while you hear this session.If you are a PhD student and would like to hear more content about PhD studies and be interviewed in the future, consider giving a feedback by sending an email at [email protected], or join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/UqJ88jxWMy website: phdlounge-podcast.comSocial Media: Facebook: @phdpodlounge Instagram: @phdlmf Twitter: @phdloungecastPodfan: https://pod.fan/phdlounge-podcastBuy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/?via=phdloungeThank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure!#phdlife #phd #phdlifestyle #phdlounge #latenight #interview #education #university #podcast #podcaster #phdstudent #student #graduate
