The Plan

This workshop, through weekly sessions, will enable you to hone your research skills within today's research environment. Many graduate students overestimate their research skills, assuming, as do their professors, that if they have done research, they have learned how to do research. Yet multiple studies have shown that this is not the case and that further guidance is needed to ramp graduate students up to the ability levels required of graduate research. This workshop is an attempt to do some of that over a period of four weeks.
