So This is Research

So many reasons why i enjoy doing my PhD study at my school - School of Commerce, University of South Australia (UniSA). While doing research here requires a high commitment and hard works, fun and laughter are around to make it enjoyable. For instance, here are the songs presented by Prof Rick Sarre, Prof. Janek Ratnatunga and Assoc. Prof. Margaret Lightbody for all researchers. Hope you like it.

    

SO THIS IS RESEARCH

~ To the tune of 'So This is Christmas'

~ Lyrics b y Prof. Janek Ratnatunga, modified by Prof. Rick Sarre

So this is research

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is research

Another paper done

One Hypothesis proved

Another one debunked

A very sound proposal

And searching questions

Let's hope it's an A star

Without any revision

And so this is research

For the quantitatively strong

But for qualitative ones

The world is so wrong

And so happy researching

For workload points

For ARC and Division Grants

Let's stop all the fights

And so this is research

And what has the School done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is research

Another paper done

One hypothesis proved

Another one debunked

And so research students

Hope your topic's beaut

May your field work be sound

And your supervisor be cute 

Academics have a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

You'll get supported researcher

Without any fear...

THE PHD BLUES
