[Article] Research Experience: A Ticket to Graduate School
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012If you would like to step into "Research" area, the following article will give you some ideas how to start.
Research Experience: A Ticket to Graduate School
I totally agree with the author. If it is hard to get good admission offer from the school you want to go further, then the Research Assistant will be a good opportunity.
Engaging in research is a worthwhile experience, regardless of whether you choose to attend graduate school, because it provides you with the opportunity to think, organize information, and problem solve, and demonstrate your commitment, reliability, and capacity for research.
However, there is a positive payoff from conducting research with faculty only if you perform competent work consistently. If you don't take the commitment seriously, are unreliable, or make repeated mistakes, your relationship with the faculty member will suffer (as will your recommendation).
Happy reading!
