I agree here too. Grad studies was a new lesson altogether -- not just how to study but how to teach yourself whole topics it would now be assumed you know :)



it sounds like you're saying that grad school trains people to be autodidacts


Just that mine did. I couldn't effectively do new research if I didn't understand the latest research, and there often wasn't someone to teach it. I found my advisor would guide but rarely lecture. This is especially true as my research was cross disciplinary, so I had to know topics that had nothing to do with my own undergrad.


interesting, thanks!
