Butehorn Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 In the Fall of 2010, I will be attending Brooklyn College and will be studying Early American History. It will be my first semester as a grad student. So I present a question to former grad students or present grad students. Should I email my two professors and ask them if there are certain monographs I should be reading before the semester starts? Thanks for the future answers.

anthropologygeek Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 No. Enjoy your time now to relax. Once the semester begins you wont have much downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dithius_9 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you like reading books a lot, sure, go read 'em...what could it hurt? However, I think you are pretty safe to just relax and enjoy the summer if you happen the type that enjoys having a life. I doubt anyone from your department will expect you to read before starting your first year. psycholinguist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexan Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I got some journal articles from the faculty I'll be working with my first year. I've gone through some of them but just barely. I figure this is my final free Summer and I dont want to start stressing before its necessary. However once in a while panic sets in and I wonder if I'm the only one in my cohort taking it easy this Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
