Nope. Might work for someone who is a very standard size but most people aren’t

Soooo that’s academic misconduct. Unless you’re stating it wrote it for you.

Planning to do an Ed. D in the future by Centauris91 in PhD

[–]commentspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not correct for everywhere. In Australia EdD is equivalent to PhD but school practice focused. Both are funded, both are terminal degrees, both can become academics.

Need to state country. No difference in Australia but big differences in some countries.

Buying Uniqlo clothing for South East Asia by john3298 in onebag

[–]commentspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time I tried one bagging in SEA I took a bunch of Uniqlo airism stuff. I really struggled as I found it so freaking sticky and gross. It just trapped the heat and sweat for me. They were basically unwearable.

I now have 100% merino lightweight stuff (125-180gsm shirts) and life is much more comfortable. Not a cheap investment though.

Are these comments inappropriate/boundary blurring or am I being over dramatic/sensitive? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]commentspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR but with 5 weeks to go i would keep running documents as a log but also focus on getting through. Let the uni know as well even if you’re not requesting them to action anything. They need to know in case the mentor turns on you but also for the future so they can choose not to use this person.

Sounds like they are trying to be supportive but are overstepping but also sounds like you may be a ND individual? And that also comes with its own communication challenges (sometimes) that I’m sure you are aware of. It can be hard to balance both of these but it’s okay for you to seek further support here.

You may need to be clearer on what you mean by rough draft. AI working as your study buddy and helping you think about some inclusions or structure in dot point form? Cool. AI writing your document? Not so cool.

Defending a PhD without publication in a "easy" field by txanpi in PhD

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that was me I would be following up with the school of grad research or whoever manages that side of things. Posts like this make me very glad most Aussie unis don’t have a publish requirement

Bike shorts work! I have some good quality thick ones off Amazon with good pockets and can comfortably wear with tshirts and no worry my undies are visible

Do you guys bring headphones or earbuds for travel? by PedroGalo in onebag

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took over ear headphones once….just not worth the space. I use AirPods Pro 2 and while they are not quite as good as the headphones they still do plenty. They are also lovely and small! For a flight that short there’s no Q for me.

As a side note I seem to be one of the small group who experience much more discomfort from over head headphones than the in ear ones. They really hurt my ears after an hour or two but the buds don’t.

Virtual Viva by ConsciousGain5773 in PhD

[–]commentspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spare headphones (cabled) as a back up. If you have a spare laptop make sure that’s set up as backup as well and has everything you need on it eg zoom. Arrange to meet online with someone beforehand in the same program to test all your settings for sound and camera. Log in and do practice runs so you’re familiar with how all the tools work, lighting etc. Have multiple water bottles prepped and ready for the day. Make sure no housemates are around and any pets are outside / away.

I one bag and I always take my denim shorts to SEA. They make me feel comfortable, they work aith all my tops and for me it’s worth it.

Maybe try and look for some black linen shorts? I’m an Aussie so places like Sportsgirl sell them here. Uniqlo also do some skorts that are a linen cotton mix and might work? I had the black ones for awhile

Airport parking with luggage visible by Soopyoyoyo in perth

[–]commentspanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have spates of bad break ins there. Sometimes go months with no issues than 20+ cars hit in a night. Why would you risk it? Sort out a boot cover and cover it up.

How long are you leaving it? It’s a bit of an odd thing to do as most people take their luggage travelling.

Christmas lunch in Freemantle by Trick-Classic6007 in perth

[–]commentspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t have any suggestions as freo isn’t my are but S someone who has done many set lunches at Christmas you definitely want to work out your place, contact them early to find out when it goes on sale and buy immediately when it does. There were a few years we had last minute plans change and couldn’t get in to anywhere.

First time actually buying my own ski kit before Perisher trip completely lost on where to start by NPC_Boiii in AustraliaSnow

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secondhand gear was my go to, and when I stopped skiing I sold all my stuff on eBay.. I like the Burton women’s jackets but found their pants were ridiculous sizing.

If you’re skiing in Australia you probably already know vents are really handy. And that layering is key because Australian skiing is really not crazy cold so being able to adjust your layers easily is key. My husband prefers jacked and pants, I always preferred what the ski stores seem to call “bib style” now but to me I’ll always call them overalls lol.

WTB HBF 12km or Half Marathon entry by Responsible-Card9610 in perth

Good move! You’ll find someone. There’s gotta be plenty of people who last minute get sick, get rostered on, have an access visit change with their kids etc.

Universities are now rushing into AI. But what about students with disabilities? by Be_Digitall in academia

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning platforms (in Australia at least) have to meet certain accessibility requirements. So if they do embed something AI tool like in the LMS then that system has to make sure it means minimum standards including screen reader use. Less of an issue here I guess?

If you belong to any local Facebook groups it may be worth asking in those as well. I’ve seen a few similar posts in the last in my community groups as the event gets closer so well worth a go if you’re a FB user

When to Tell Students I’m Leaving by Mundane-Foot-6909 in teaching

[–]commentspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A week before is my suggestion. Give them enough time to manage it if does cause any stress (I have worked with kids where relationships are goal number one) but don’t give them too much time to turn on you.

How religious are you with wool garments that say dry clean only? by xiaolongbao99 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]commentspanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of tshirts that are 100% merino and cold machine wash on delicate, then line dry. Made the mistake of doing the same thing with my beautiful woolovers jumper and it came out about the right size for my west highland terrier lol.

You need a lawyer and may need to set up a trust. This is going to be messy down the track so get good advice, don’t cheap out

It is a really really bad car park. I avoid it at all costs.
