Therefore, to have the opportunity to enter the doctoral studies made me feel even happier.<\/div>\n<p>Because this journey, among other\u00a0<em>things<\/em>, <em>has<\/em><em> given me<\/em> quite a lot. I have learned so much. It has opened my eyes to a different world (university world) which is quite different from the business world I\u2019ve got used to. The studies give me new energy, higher motivation at work, more inspiration at home and my daily life. Even though, this means, of course, I have to work hard, due to the many roles I have at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>At my core family, I am a wife, a Mom, a daughter-in-law, a sister, and an aunt etc. At work, I am an employee, a co-worker, a strong link in a long chain\/teamwork. And finally, at the university, I am a student. The latter role sometimes feels quite tough. Nevertheless, I still enjoy the studies because this is my choice. Except for a few frustrating moments every now and then, for example when you are facing some contradictory guidelines from lecturers or professors, such as how to write a learning diary. An instruction which I used a few times earlier, clearly states: \u201cThe goal is to analyze and comment on lectures, <strong>not to summarize the content of the lectures<\/strong>. Main goals are discussing and analyzing the central themes, and processing one\u2019s own learning by reflecting the content to own situation\/research work\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, in March, I attended a workshop which included five different presentations. I have written 3 pages learning diary according to the learning diary mentioned above. Unfortunately, my learning diary was not accepted, the reason is: \u201c<strong>there was no summary of the presentations<\/strong>\u201d<strong>. <\/strong>Consequently, I have been told to write a few more pages to summarize two given different articles.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, in the Research ethics course, among other things, we have learned a clear rule about authorship, which I found very useful because this helps me to release myself from \u201cunethical treatments\u201d. Other information from this course is that the lecturer encourages doctoral students to use \u201cTurnitin\u201d before submitting manuscripts to journals. Unfortunately, according to the University\u2019s policy, I have been told that \u201c<strong>Turnitin is only a tool for staff members<\/strong>, <strong>not for students\u201d<\/strong>. Unluckily, staff members have more important things to do than to upload students\u2019 manuscript through Turnitin.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, my example here is extremely small and \u201cheavily biased\u201d. I try to believe that supervisors, lecturers, and staff members do care about us and want what is best for us.
