Two more Jumpstart sessions and a quantitative analysis final next monday and I will have officially completed my first semester with SFSU’s MBA program. When my Management Principles class ended today I had a moment of Realization: Wow. I’ve been here for four months. Do I feel different? I guess a little. I never really [...]
I’m looking for a program that will store my references and add them to my manuscripts, like Zotero or Endnote. Ideally, though, the program I will use will synchronize my library across multiple computers. It looks like neither Zotero nor Endnote do this, though I think the next version of Zotero will have this capacity. [...]
In all my looking through grad students’ posts on the web I came to a conclusion: I am the only person in the world going through grad school (and who went through undergrad) with no family support! Is it true? Where are all those other poor souls like me? Everyone I met has a car [...]
I have a question for y’all. What is the worth (or lack thereof) or joining professional associations? I’m working on my MPA right now (Masters in Public Administration) and am considering joining the American Society for Public Administration at my school. I know what they advertise as the benefits – networking, both social and professional, [...]
I’m moving from Toronto to rural Massachusetts for grad school, and my first order of business is to buy a car. The problem is that I keep running into nightmares with licensing, insurance, etc. So, I called my parents – my dad used to work in insurance and he has lots of agent buddies. Are [...]
I’m about to move out on my own for the first time as a Spanish grad student/teaching assistant, and I have a question about pets. I am most definitely a cat person, and I’ve never been on my own before — I commuted all four years to college. My big worry about moving out is [...]
To all researchers…. this could potentially affect you Subject: NSF FY 2006 Funding Representatives Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) and Rush Holt (D-NJ) are sponsoring a “Dear Colleague” letter to Representative Frank Wolf (R-VA), Chair of the House Appropriations Science, State, Justice, and Commerce Subcommittee, recommending an increased funding level of $6.1 billion for the National Science [...]
I don’t start my program until this Fall but this last semester has proven that my schedule has outgrown my (admittedly poor) memory skills and scraps of paper method. I’m not a technophobe. If event information comes to me via email I usually put it on my google calendar and I’m on google as much [...]
I’ll cut straight to the point: I have bad depression. I’ve got it bad, I’ve had it bad for over a year, and I’m in treatment (medication and therapy). I’ve been in treatment for almost a year as well. When it’s at its worst, I’m absolutely not functional. To date, I’ve only told one faculty [...]
I’m busy reworking my bibliography: putting things under headings, etc. Primary sources all go together, this I know. But what about the other headings? In MLA style, do you have to arrange things thematically or by type of source (journals, for example), and then do you have to order those headings alphabetically? Sorry for the [...]
