Grad School: The Secret Syllabus

A Dissertation is Not a Book
If you're a PhD student, stop comparing your dissertation to major works …

Program Begins 1/10/22

In Grad School, there are two syllabi: one public, one secret.

The public one tells you all about required coursework and milestones. The secret one is full of unspoken assumptions and a map to the minefield.

In this mentorship program, I’ll guide you through the “secret syllabus” of grad school, sharing concrete, practical advice. Whether you’re applying to grad school, or about to defend your dissertation, this program is for you.
