How to Survive as a Graduate Student

Zephyr is not research!

- Theodore Wong

I gave a talk entitled "How to Survive as a Graduate Student" at the 2001 Immigration Course for new students. It consisted of collected wisdom on how to pick an advisor, get through classes and requirements, beat the pre-proposal slump, and understand Black Friday.

I've put the slides from the talk on-line as a reference. They are available in multiple formats.
