These quotes are some of the responses made on the Survey of Doctoral Education and Career Preparation. The quotes are sorted by discipline. You can see the response from other disciplines . These quotes supplement an article of advice for selecting a doctoral program . Students responded to the question: "Knowing everything that you know now, what advice would you give others entering or in the early years of graduate school? " The quotes are sorted into six categories. Generally, there are a half dozen comments per category, the alternating colors are different student's comments. These categories were applied by us, as we read through the thousands of comments. They are the most common categories of advice pertaining to the selection of a doctoral program. The frequency with which various kinds of advice emerged varies by discipline. You can see the relative distribution here.

Home Homework Schedule Advice ... Applied Algebra Papers Advice from Former Students for Abstract Algebra I Math 171, Harvey Mudd College Prof. Michael Orrison "Do your homework! This course is fast-paced and very interesting, but you have to do the problems to make sure you understand the material." "Do not under any circumstance skip a homework! It makes it that much harder to keep up later. Always make a good attempt on each problem. It really pays off in the end." "Start your homework way early." "Its helpful to spread the work out over the week. Look at all the problems the first night. Attempt them the next night. Try them again on the third night, and then get help if you need it." "Take notes and read the book." "Keep a running compilation/summary of terms and results proved (including on the homework). There is a lot of material and it builds up quickly so you have to work hard to stay on top of it." "Do the rewrites and take an active role in making sure you understand the homework." "Make use of rewrites. They're not only worth time spent for the points you get back, but for helping you understand the material."

88. Advice From Former Math 2000 Students advice for taking math 2000 One of the most important things is not to stress over My advice to you when taking math 2000 would be to have a positive http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~wbriggs/2000s02/advice.html

Advice From Former Math 2000 Students The best way to get a good grade in this class is to keep up on the homework assignments. They are not hard if you just use the formulas. The lectures are not at all boring. You can actually learn some useful things. Also, the group work can really help your social life. This class is unlike any other math class you have ever taken. You’re expected to learn and be able to apply the information presented to you, but it’s done in a very low pressure comfortable way. Math is not your enemy and BB is a great ally against such a myth. Good luck. As someone who looked at math as some life-threatening disease that I would never want to catch, I was terrified to walk into class the first day. However, I can say that my knowledge of math has increased because of this class. The professor is always approachable and (as advice) go see him! Also, if you have a question ask! You will learn in this class. Just remember, the unit on permutations will end! Good luck! I can’t give you any advice about what it takes to become engaged and want to learn other than be sure to actually go to class and you should do fine. Different people learn different ways, so I can’t really tell you how to succeed. Just come in with an open mind and try to pay attention.

89. Advice Early Career Development, American mathematical Society, Providence, Rhode Island, 2003. You might also like my advice on how to learn math and physics. http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/advice.html

Advice for the Young Scientist John Baez August 14, 2003 I have reached the stage where young mathematicians and physicists sometimes ask me for advice - mainly people who want to work on quantum gravity. Here is my advice. Most of it applies to grad students and postdocs in any branch of science who seek an academic career involving research. The stuff on giving good talks will be helpful to almost all scientists, since most give pretty bad talks. On Keeping Your Soul The great challenge at the beginning of ones career in academia is to get tenure at a decent university. Personally I got tenure before I started messing with quantum gravity, and this approach has some real advantages. Before you have tenure, you have to please people. After you have tenure, you can do whatever the hell you want - so long as it's legal, and so long as your department doesn't put a lot of pressure on you to get grants. (This is one reason I'm happier in a math department than I would be in a physics department. Mathematicians have more trouble getting grants, so there's a bit less pressure to get them.) The great thing about tenure is that it means your research can be driven by your actual interests instead of the ever-changing winds of fashion. The problem is, by the time many people get tenure, they've become such slaves of fashion that they no longer know what it

Our Mission The performance of American students in mathematics is mediocre at best. In many cases, mathematics instruction is not serving our children's best interests. In order to help all students achieve success in school mathematics courses, have access to adequate preparation for the broadest options in high school math and science courses, and the opportunity to advance into mathematics based college courses and careers, it is important to examine the direction of recent attempts at mathematics education reform. NYC HOLD (Honest Open Logical Decisions on Mathematics Education Reform) was formed in order to address mathematics education in the New York City schools. We are a nonpartisan advocacy organization that provides parents, educators, mathematicians and other concerned citizens information, resources and networking opportunities to support systemic improvements in the quality of mathematics education in the New York City schools.

94. Advice Against Adopting "Everyday Mathematics" In The DC Public Schools Re the June 2005 District of Columbia math Curriculum Adoption I majored in mathematics and am greatly concerned with how math is taught. http://www.nychold.com/let-garelick-050615.html

Re: the June 2005 District of Columbia Math Curriculum Adoption Email to Ms. Peggy Cooper Cafritz President of the DCPS Board of Education and Dr. Clifford B. Janey Superintendent of the DCPS Cc to other members of the Board and to members of the press By Barry Garelick June 15, 2005 Dear Dr. Clifford and Ms Cafritz: My name is Barry Garelick. I am employed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. I am writing as a private citizen and not as an employee of US EPA. I am writing on behalf of parents who are concerned that their children receive an effective math education. In my spare time I tutor students in mathematics. I majored in mathematics and am greatly concerned with how math is taught. I recently wrote an article on mathematics education which appeared in the Spring 2005 edition of Education Next. The article focuses on some of the serious problems in math education in K-12 in the U.S. In my opinion as well as those of many mathematicians I consulted when writing the article, some of the educational theories informing how math is currently taught are seriously flawed. I have attached a copy of the article for your information. Two years ago I had the opportunity to tutor students at the Macfarland Middle School in DC in mathematics. I enjoyed working with these students. I was also impressed with the math program that Macfarland had at that time. What impressed me was the students' knowledge of the standard algorithms needed in math: long division, multiplying and dividing fractions, dividing decimals. They knew the rules.
