  1. I placed this post elsewhere but I think in the wrong arena- see what happens when we get a real break!! I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is preparing for exams and if so how are you doing (feel free to vent) and what is your approach????
  2. This is a great question!! Just look at all the diverse interests !! For myself- my research interests are in global and women's history -particularly development and social movements post-1945.
  3. The posts are fabulous! I'm not sure how things work in Computer Sciences, if you have funding, ect but I would like to add to the list of great advice the following--- no matter how friendly everyone in your department/cohort is.... just because you are 'in' does not always mean the competition is over and there are always 'unfriendly' folks (brought out even more in this economic climate of funding cuts! So- I would suggest new grad students slowly get to know your colleagues and be professional at all times from the moment you step on campus. Friendships take time- to quotePessi a line from the 'Godfather'- " Never let them know what your thinking"!! Sounds pessimistic I know- and I'm an optimist!! But I think its important to remember that people gossip ect- I've heard grad students/faculty taking betting pools on who would be leaving, thrown out ect! Just a reminder to look at this process without rose tinted glasses!!! Do your best work- be professional- make professional connections!! Ie your wild days with colleagues are sadly over!
  4. Hi All! I'm wondering if anyone else in the forums are preparing for their Masters Exams? Mine are this spring (February) and I was looking for suggestions on websites, advice, thoughts on preparation ect- I've been preparing since the summer and would like to get a 'fresh' perspective/approach. Also- any thoughts from those already through this stage of the "gauntlet"???
