“An outstanding guide to the pursuit of a Ph.D. that lays out a map with a ‘yellow brick road’ to success. Highly recommended to graduate students and those contemplating a Ph.D.”
-Steven R. Tannenbaum, Professor of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“The Smart Way to Your Ph.D. is AWESOME! This text MUST become a book for distribution. What a wonderful and timely piece of work.”
-Larry Sass, Director, Computation Group, School of Architecture and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“The Smart Way to Your Ph.D. has something to offer everyone – those considering or just starting graduate school, those mid-way through graduate school, those in the process of writing, and even those searching for jobs and interviewing. With both big picture goals and day-to-day tips, this book demystifies the process of successfully completing graduate school and is a tremendous resource.”
-Sarah Delaney, Professor of Chemistry, Brown University
“The Smart Way to Your Ph.D. is a thoughtful and thorough guide for graduate students already in a Ph.D. program or those contemplating joining one. Dr. Farkas effectively deals with a range of topics (such as time management, writing and defending one’s thesis, and finding a job), and bases her suggestions on interviews with former and current graduate students. The book is packed with friendly, accessible, and practical tips and suggestions. I am happy to endorse the work and recommend it to doctoral students and even their mentors.”
—Brinda Charry, Associate Professor, Department of English, Keene State College
“This is a great resource for prospective and current graduate students and their families. Dr. Farkas emphasizes that a Ph.D. requires significant dedication and vision for the future and that graduate school should not serve as a default option for indecisive individuals. However, the book also makes the doctoral degree sound “within reach” and deals with common problems that can arise during graduate studies, such as bad advisor, bad project, lack of motivation, staying organized, and staying healthy. I wish I read this book before I started my own graduate school adventure!”
—Natalia Tretyakova, Distinguished Professor, Department of Medicinal Chemistry, University of Minnesota
