Hi all,
I want to suggest using a tag on steemit for past and present grad students to share their successes, struggles, and/or bloopers along with all other subjects relating to graduate school as a masters or doctoral student. Of course, there is no limit to what we could say, but I have listed some talking (writing) points below. I don't want to make this my soapbox tag, so I will withhold from detailed post for now and soapbox it up later. I should probably be doing research at the moment.
Tag: graduate
- Did you have any issues and how were they resolved or not resolved?
- Do you have a question for past or present grad students?
- Do you have something that you can't say within your institution?
- What were the positive and negatives?
- Did you finish or not finish your program and why?
- What, if any, personal opinions or ways of doing things did you decide to accept in order to finish your program?
- How was your pay in comparison to local expenses such as rent, utilities, and the like?
- If you taught, do you have any great (or not so great) experiences?
- Have any tips or tricks for admissions applications, grants/awards, or success in a specific field for those in or thinking about going to grad school?
Here are some posts that have already been posted to steemit in relation to grad school:
- The Quick and Dirty Guide to Applying to Graduate School
- My First Day Of graduate School!!!! :) :)
- Should you go to grad school in the humanities? A professor's perspective
- I Dropped Out of Grad School & I Am Not That Disappointed About It
Thanks for reading, and I hope the tag is useful.
Sincerely,
A professional procrastinator
