Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a grad student, for grad students. This guided journal is designed to help graduate students entering into a Masters or professional certificate program to mentally and emotionally process their experiences in grad school while encouraging professional growth and providing tools to help complete their program's requirements. Students go through a series of exercises (such as goal setting, mid-way point reflections, and work-life balance activities) throughout their time in the program at their own pace. The journal is meant to be complimentary to the graduate school experience, and as such does not provide an overwhelming amount of additional work for the reader, rather it helps to teach skills and incorporate meaningful experiences that can enhance the graduate school experience without becoming an additional burden.
Download or read book Should I Go to Grad School written by Jessica Loudis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to go to graduate school is easy for future doctors and lawyers: they need a professional degree to start their careers. But for many young creative workers, aspiring artists, and intellectuals, grad school poses an existential fork in the road. An MFA or a humanities PHD can give you time to study something you love among people with similar interests, but it can also uproot you geographically and saddle you with debt. Given the current job market, is grad school really worth it- financially, professionally, and emotionally? In this book, a wide range of intellectuals and creative types share their stories about going to grad school or avoiding it, and what that decision has meant in their lives. They provide an inside look at what graduate programs are really like and share the wisdom they wish they had going in. -- Publisher description

Download or read book 57 Ways to Screw Up in Grad School written by Kevin D. Haggerty and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to a masters or PhD program, most graduate students don't deliberately set out to fail. Yet, of the nearly 500,000 people who start a graduate program each year, up to half will never complete their degree. Books abound on acing the admissions process, but there is little on what to do once the acceptance letter arrives. Veteran graduate directors Kevin D. Haggerty and Aaron Doyle have set out to demystify the world of advanced education. Taking a wry, frank approach, they explain the common mistakes that can trip up a new graduate student and lay out practical advice about how to avoid the pitfalls. Along the way they relate stories from their decades of mentorship and even share some slip-ups from their own grad experiences.

Inside, you’ll find: • advice on maintaining a veneer of productivity in front of your advisor • tips for sleeping upright during boring seminars • a description of how to find which departmental events have the best unguarded free food • how you can convincingly fudge data and feign progress This hilarious guide to surviving and thriving as the lowliest of life-forms—the grad student—will elaborate on all of these issues and more.
