I am a second year ph.d student in German University. In Europe, we do not do courses or teaching, but we also have less time to produce high quality research ( 3years), and we need to publish at least once. It would be interesting to read more about your experience, or experience of other successful graduate student. In particular, tips about project management (this tips might be quite different from those for the college students), producing publishable, meaningful results, getting along well with supervisor and colleagues, meeting the deadlines without stressing out too much, etc. I should say, most of these topics are already covered in different sections of your blog, but again, they are not quite suitable for the kind of life style that the graduate students have. Thanks a lot for your helpful tips and good luck! Hi Cal,

Your readers are indeed fortunate. Cal: With a 25 years under my belt since my PhD, I still can’t agree more to your grad school recommendations. Your readers are indeed fortunate.
