Description

The first edition of BEING BRIGHT IS NOT ENOUGH was well received, and so this new edition has not altered the ideas expressed there. What has been added are details and reactions in light of experiences of the intervening years. This particularly interesting book is written from a student advocacy perspective, intended to speak to non-traditional students as well as those typical of past generations. In making the unwritten rules of doctoral study more explicit, the author is insightful rather than scientific, personal rather than objective, and practical rather than theoretical. Hundreds of doctoral students (and many professors) provided the inspiration for a guide to pave the way for those recipients who will pursue and capture academe's highest award, the terminal degree in a particular field of study. - from Amzon
