Language Support

General

• Infact, you can get your whole wiki in multiple languages by preferences (including Hebrew), or a page at a time by adding

  #language he
  

  to the start of a page.

• see also http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MultipleLanguagesSupport

• but seems like you need to know the keyboard to make this work ... hmm..?

Hebrew

• Can we do Hebrew? ימין לשמאל!

• or by section,

  [[he]]
  ימין לשמאל
  [[en]]
  back in English
  

Greek

• What about Greek?
• this should work: [[el(Οι ερωτήσεις για αγορά εξοπλισμού πρέπει να απαντηθούνε με ερωτήσεις)]].
• but it renders OK with just the text: Οι ερωτήσεις για αγορά εξοπλισμού πρέπει να απαντηθούνε με ερωτήσεις

     • ii. Access to computers in labs - how to organize password?
3. What rooms have been allocated for PhD students.
   • .. This is an ongoing issue! .. I would like to be able to say that there are some number of proclaimed (designated) desks in each of the rooms and some (smaller) number of 'casual' desks for students who come in on an ad-hoc basis. However, this is not really possible and we persist with an 'in policy' practice of 'hot-desks' (though this does not match reality). So you would have to write about how you cannot expect to use the same desk between days, how you shouldn't leave materials around, about how you should store books/files in the filing-cabinet/book-cabinet provided with a lock and key, and yes, that may mean taking your books around campus until you find a said 'hot-desk' that is available.... you may appreciate this is a sore point and I feel needs clarification!! ... something I am trying to pursue presently...
4. Postgraduate funds supplied for all PhD students: $500 per year plus
   • can apply for anything additional. Explanation of what the funds cover. Direct them to the policy on the web-site for Research Students. It is all there.
5. Location of Scholarships office : Who to contact about PhD stuff.
6. Tutoring: Who is in charge of tutoring/who to contact if you want to
   • tutor. Contact: Associate Head (studies) – at present, Trevor Stegmann. Tutor allocations are made in the few weeks prior to the commencement of session. New PhD students are advised to get in contact with the Associate Head (studies) as soon as possible if they wish to be granted tutorial hours in the school. General info: Tutoring of subjects in the school is a prime academic activity of the PhD student. It serves as both a source of additional funding whilst studying, but also an important training forum for future teacher commitments. In general, first-year PhD students will be able to take on some of the large first-year subjects for tutoring (e.g. Micro, Macro, QMA, QMB etc.) and in later years may find tutoring in the upper year subjects as their supervisor suggests, or connections are made within the school. Pay: payment works on a two tier scale, with the first tutorial for a given subject matter gaining an extra loading to subsequent repeats of the same subject material. Early year PhD tutors will likely do two subjects at most, with several repeats, giving a total of up to 8 hours of tutoring contact. This is the maximum that the school allows due to the impact that preparation for tutoring has on research and course-work studies. Private tutoring: It is possible, though not generally practiced, to advertise, or respond to requests, for private tuition in School subjects. All matters concerning pay, conditions and resources are the concern and responsibility of the parties involved and should not interfere with the PhD student's studies. From time-to-time these requests are made known through the internal school email system.
7. Any other facilities that PhD students have access to?
