another paper
On Tuesday last, I sent an email to Michael about submitting a paper to a conference proceedings. Papers could be 10-20 pages, double spaced (about 4-8 pages as formatted like a journal).
On Wednesday, he said I should do it.
On Thursday afternoon, I threw together some writing and played with latex stylefiles for a few hours. mmmm... stylefiles. Stopped work around 5 to pick up Lea, took the evening off.
On Friday morning, I emailed him a draft of a paper minus a bit of analysis. He volunteered (!) to write up the last bits of it, translating my slides to text, so that he could better understand the writing.
On Monday noon, I got the revision back from him, smoothed a little text, and sent it back. 20 pages.
On Monday afternoon, he submitted it. He was so excited about what a slick paper it was that he thinks we should submit it to Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research (PRST-PER), the premier journal in the field.
Later on Monday, he emails me *again* to ask if we can submit. He attaches a version that has been reformatted to use APS style instead of APA style.
Today we meet and I outline twenty minutes of changes to make it stronger. He agrees.
Some comments:
Michael is a great advisor.
I am a fast writer.
I didn't know it was possible to make a paper that quickly.
Perhaps I should update my C-V.
