Tomorrow we have an annual performance review thingy! 

I`m not that prepared to be honest! We are in our 7th month of study but they have changed the procedure and the reviews are in April now rather than in September! 

All what I got (basically) is a literature review and I know for a fact that the panel assigned to us will hit us here & there, I just hope I manage to keep my mouth shut! 

I`m the last one in my group, at 4.30, for half an hour; 15 min.s presentation, 15 for discussion. 

Any last minute brilliant tips/ideas,, just hit me! :D  "offering ka3ik is not an option btw" :P

طربش: well, u can always use the secret weapon; crying! one can never go wrong with tears. 

"Thanks for nothing 6robsh!"

* The other day I noticed that G-reader is no longer there on the G+! :(

I guess they are colliding with my solitude path or something.

  2. You are more than ready, show them what you got and be your best..Relax, and if I were to give you one tip it would be to speak slowly and clearly. I tend to speak fast and my sentences become all jumbled up when am nervous which makes my accent even worse looool

    As for google reader, I noticed the same which is very annoying. True I am the laziest of all, but I get so annoyed when you guys are lazy !!!
    GOOD LUCK ..:)

      ktheer haika :P

      Thanks a lot Noura, I think the bloggery world is.. well, is fading away :(( hope not but seems so.
      ------------
      Would u believe Noura that talking slowly is a note with a (major) highlighter on my printed put papers :), so I won`t forget it. I tend to speak fast too, in all three languages that I know (who`s bragging :D?) so u can imagine when there is some pressure how already speedy one could go!

      Thanks again.

    1. Thanks Whisper :)

      EnshaAllah khair.

      There are no grades/points , just if the panel sees the progress unsatisfactory then u r under probation, other wise u just progress until the next year review.
      Kind of formalities but still makes u nervous because u don`t know exactly what to predict, being it the 1st time and all.

      سأقضي عليهم!
      :]

  4. Since this is less than a year review I think they just want to make sure you are working on something. Summarize each paper in your literature review. Know the pros and cons of their method. In your presentation, try not to overwhelm yourself or the audience. You don't have to list or talk about everything you read.
    I don't know exactly what they are looking for in this review but I would suggest that your presentation include how you can extend or improve the methods you read in the literature review. That is what direction, or the research concentration, you are taking for your PhD.
    Allah Ma3ak wal beltawfeeq.

    1. Thanks Malik, neat tip indeed.
      I have constructed it in a way that captures a quick review of what I have read + (what`s next) thingy :)

      I have 15 minutes only, and I have never been good at converging things, I`m much better at diverging and prolonging stuff :D

      Yeslamo ya Malik.
