That's the funniest thing I've heard in ages... Oh, you're serious, sorry. In that case I wish!
Good point about the NMR and SMR/HER - perhaps the tutors should be introduced to them first!
It was an example rather than a specific..... (Although I have been working in areas where the Iron Age is MUCH better represented in the archaeological record, and much more studied, than the more obscure Industrial Revolution stuff!)
Yes, I think they probably should. In many cases, however, I think it's as much about helping people recognise what questions they need to (or can!) answer and then knowing where to point them! And in my darker moments I wonder how many people actually have any idea how to actually do research.....
