- I’m new here. This is what I thought it would be like.Embarking on PhD is like first day of new job. You’ve more than likely been out of school a while. There’s a lot to take in.Or first day of class freshman year of college. Campus is big. Teachers are authoritative. Students seem lost. Make a buddy. Find a student to guide you. Get the ins and outs.Other ways to connect with students before the beginning of class:Look at your library to find out who has PhDs…ask them about their experiences.Pay attention when someone mentions an area of research interest, or discusses methodologies they have used. File these away for later.Interview DayExample of TWUs Fall Forum/Orientation
- Find a faculty member to share with you the likes and dislikes of fellow faculty. Who likes qualitative research? Quantitative? Who likes working with other people? Who on the faculty get along with each other?Knock on doors. Attend research presentations. Make yourself known.Learn about fellow students – who has published before? Who has gone through the preliminary/qualifying exam process?Don’t forget about those in others departments. I made a friend in the math department who just happens to teach statistics. Useful for a researcher, no? We are discussing a project of content analysis of the schools graduate catalog to show how statistics are taught in 6 different colleges/schools, but all seem to teach the same thing…Departments of reading, education, linguistics…not only will some of your discussions spark research ideas, but they can offer an ‘outsider’s’ perspective come time to prepare your dissertation, or even serve on your committee!
- Talk about Face to face – AND – digital methodsTWU Blackboard exampleDissertation boot camps exampleAttend other student dissertation defenses – give them a few weeks and then use them!ALISE Doctoral Student SIGDon’t forget that a personal learning network is not just comprised of people. Methods of connecting and information resources are in there too.Students should try to map what and who they know that can help them through the process. Your classwork, library resources, social media, and professional memberships also contribute to your network.
