Week 2ish

Abit about me first.

Back in the 2005, I ditched my Honours Degree at Monash University (sorry Pod and Rob) and found a job in Canberra working for a large organisation's datawarehouse team as a Senior BA. Earlier this year, my new employer threw in an extra perk, funding and time to complete a Graduate Certificate in something ITish. So here I am! Obviously I won't be attending too many lectures or tutorials as I live in Canberra, but I will be working from home/work.

Obviously there is an overlap between my current role and this unit. What i will find interesting undertaking this unit is how my current work practices reflect the theory, how I have translated (or basterardised?) the knowledge I acquired at university, and if revisting the theory will change my professional outlook. Time will tell I guess.

Explain your PHD through interpretive dance?

Revisting uni reminds me of one of my all time favourite sites, PHD students dance off. The basic premise is that students/scientists/professors explain their research only through the universal language of interpretive dance. Time to get your groove on Pod/Rob ?
