For students considering doctoral programs and doctoral students considering faculty life, The PhDictionary is a lighthearted companion that illuminates the often opaque customs of academic life. With more than two decades as a doctoral student, college teacher, and administrator, Herb Childress has tripped over almost every possible misunderstood term, run up against every arcane practice, and developed strategies to deal with them all. He combines current data and personal stories into memorable definitions of 150 key phrases and concepts graduate students will need to know (or pretend to know) as they navigate their academic careers. From ABD to white paper—and with buyout, FERPA, gray literature, and soft money in between—each entry contains a helpful definition and plenty of relevant advice. Wry and knowledgeable, Childress is the perfect guide for anyone hoping to scale the ivory tower.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 22mmItem Length: 18mmItem Width: 2mmItem Weight: 510gAuthor: Herb ChildressGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Children's Learning & EducationBook Series: Chicago Guides to Academic LifeRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
