讲座时间：2007年5月29日 下午2：30 讲座地点：中关村研究生院S104 主办单位：研究生院信息学院、中科院计算所研究生部联合举办 The Road to a Ph.D Abstract In this talk, I would like to introduce insights into strategies for how to have more energy, be more efficient, and be more relaxed, and get a lot more accomplished on the road to a PhD. Specifically, I will share my experience about some of the misperception that many Chinese students have during their PhD study in USA. In particular, I will discuss issues, such as “How to be a self-motivated student?”, “What is the right attitude for PhD study?”, “How to be balanced between work and life?”, “How important are communication skills?”, “How to do conflict management?”, “How to do time management?”, “How important are marketing skills?”, What is the difference between leadership and management?”, “How to build and maintain relationships?”, “What are publication strategies?”, and “How to write good research papers?”.
