  1. Thanks, Eigen. I'll study my professor's research and hope for the best.
  2. I've been flipping through Peters' book on graduate school and realize that it's imperative that I find a good advisor in my master's program so I can have a solid LOR for doctoral studies. Now, I have this feeling that unless I'm the top student in my class, I cannot approach this one professor, who is tenured and busy, yet known for being a helpful mentor. I did do well in his class, but I don't feel confident about myself. How do I approach this professor to either conduct an independent study under his mentoring, ask him to support my master's thesis, or ideally, work as his research assistant?
  3. Thanks, Mocha! Yes, I will study my professor's CV.
  4. I've heard that the best type of support you can get for a master's thesis is if you work on a topic that is of interest to one of your advisers, e.g., an unexplored area of research that is part of the adviser's larger research. How would I go about asking one of my professors for such a topic? "Is there something within your research I can study for my master's thesis?" -- Something like that? Many thanks! (On a side note, I feel like I lack the cultural capital that is needed to navigate in academia. Is there a book or resource I can reference to help me learn how to approach professors, ask for LORs, acquire research experience, etc.? I'm know that this forum is a great resource, too.)
