## Description

Grad School Essentials: A Crash Course in Scholarly Skills [Shore, Zachary] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Grad School Essentials: A Crash Course in Scholarly Skills

Review: Great How-To Guide for Beginner Graduate School Students - Who Should Consider This Book? Grad students entering the humanities, social sciences and possibly the nartural sciences. Why? Dr. Shore mentions that his reading guide, found in the first two chapters of his book, is written for graduate students who are reading books and articles in the humanities, social sciences, and to an extent the natural sciences as well (p 9). He explains that his method is meant to help you "jump around" in the text, and zero in on the primary information that an author is communicating (p 9). What Do You Get? Time saving strategies and tips for reading, writing, presenting, and research, as well as useful information about navigating interpersonal communication with peers and professors.
Review: You wish you knew - I just completed my first grad class and ran to this book for help. There seems to be some magical unknown training program between undergad and grad that I was not told about. The bar was set so high, so suddenly, without any education on how to accomplish these new tasks. THANKFULLY, Dr. Shore has an incredible wealth of knowledge here on how to APPROACH grad school. It is sensible, incredibly resourceful, and, my favorite of all, WHITTY! Thank you Dr. Shore for sharing this wealth with the upcoming generation. I may still struggle forward, but at least now I know I won’t drown. *P.S. - This is my first desertcart review in at least 10 years. This book made me get up and right it. It’s that good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You wish you knew
*by A***R on December 19, 2020*

I just completed my first grad class and ran to this book for help. There seems to be some magical unknown training program between undergad and grad that I was not told about. The bar was set so high, so suddenly, without any education on how to accomplish these new tasks. THANKFULLY, Dr. Shore has an incredible wealth of knowledge here on how to APPROACH grad school.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ political views should be omitted-comes across as unprofessional which diminishes from the book.
*by A***N on January 26, 2023*

Good book but I don’t want an author’s political views interwoven into book content unless I am reading a book on politics. Since the author preaches simplicity he might take a chapter from his own lesson and apply it to his writing. Apart from that I like the book. Loved it UNTIL I read a few remarks as noted. Disappointed at the lack of self discipline reflected by these remarks.
