It presents comments from lecturer Bradley Ricca regarding ways in which paranoia benefited his preparation for comprehensive exams during his graduate student career, discusses Kramer's thoughts on the role graduate advisers should play in helping students deal with peer criticism, and explores cartoonist Jorge Cham's opinion on aspects of doctoral study that contribute to student anxiety. |
