Transitioning from Undergraduate to Graduate Studies
As you progress through your program, you will find that the expectations in graduate school are much higher and the demand for your time and attention will be much greater. One of the major differences between undergraduate and graduate education is that while as an undergraduate student you were expected to learn the foundations and principles within your chosen discipline, as a graduate student, you are now expected to contribute to the knowledge of your discipline. With that in mind, here are some articles that may help you adjust to the new expectations.
