Good Grad: Conclusions
How to Be a Good Graduate Student
by Marie desJardins
In addition to the papers I have cited directly in the article, I
found a variety of other resources to be useful, and have included
them in the References section.
The UC Berkeley 'Graduate' is a newsletter published by the UC
Berkeley Graduate Division with articles of general interest to
graduate students. I found this publication very informative both
during graduate school and while writing this article. A number of
particularly interesting articles are included in the References
section.
Several articles
([bundy],
[bental],
[chapman])
give general advice on
graduate school and doing research. Guidelines and suggestions for
reviewing papers are given in
[smith] and
[shriver].
A number of articles on writing proposals and successfully applying
for research grants are available
([somerville],
[white-proposals],
[white-grants],
[lefferts]).
Graduate school is not an easy process, and too many students are
thwarted and intimidated by unsupportive or unskilled advisors, lack
of knowledge about what graduate school is all about, inflexible
bureaucracies, and a myriad of other obstacles. I have tried to give
advice that graduate students and caring advisors can use to lessen
some of these obstacles.
