These are slides that I use to teach our incoming graduate students how to avoid common troubles that graduate students / researchers experience. It is more for Purdue IE students, but most of the advice could be relevant to many graduate students.
To make sure you're able to focus on your priorities it's important you want to take charge of your life by setting your priorities straight and other priorities will be focused on what's happening right now.
Teaching English grammar helps students develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Without knowledge of grammar, students will not be able to speak or write English correctly. Grammar plays an important role in teaching and learning any language. If you want to know how to improve your Grammar visit this one!

The slides were used when I present an alt.chi paper, title "QnDReview: Read 100 CHI Papers in 7 Hours" in CHI 2014. The contents will show what kinds of benefits that you will have if you are forced to read papers in a short period of time. More details could be found in the following URL: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2578884
Abstract: In 2013, 392 research papers and notes were published in the CHI conference (The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems) and even more papers in the domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) are constantly published in various conferences and journals. It is quite arduous, if not impossible, to read all of these papers. One approach to deal with this information deluge is to focus on skimming through lots of papers in a short period of time, so that one can more wisely choose what to read before investing time in them. In order to teach such a skimming technique, I have taught a technique, called "Quick and Dirty Review (QnDReview)," in a graduate-level HCI course. The method has been employed in the course for five semesters, and students' responses were collected and analyzed. Results showed that students spent, on average, 4.3 minutes per paper and believed that they got the gist of each paper. However, the largest benefit I noticed is that students get the overall pictures of the fields while exposing themselves to various new ideas through this approach.
The lecture discusses the peer review process and its type, paper rejection type, Common errors that lead to rejection, Desk Rejection (Rejection without Peer Review), How to write, and read, a PAPER rejection letter, The most common options for next steps after rejection, Tips for responding to reviewer comments on your manuscript, How to answer reviewers for a journal paper revision?. 7th tips for deciding what to change. How to write a great rebuttal/response letter, Letter to Editor, and Letter to reviewers, finally the presenter will show some case studies.

This talk was delivered during the graduate seminar at Georgetown University Computer Science Department. It offers practical principles and techniques for English academic writing.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

with a separate server.

challenging.
•e.g., Finish lit review. (x)
•e.g., Do one arrogant review. (o)

Don’t mix these steps up. 19
20. First Sentence Writing
1.Write down first sentences of all paragraphs.
2. Revise these sentences very carefully, so that
they reflect the main story clearly.
– e.g., Why is it important? Why do I do this
study? How do I do it?
3.Whenever you have five minutes, finish up
each paragraph.
WARNING: This technique is more
for advanced researchers.
Inexperienced researchers may
experience too many changes as
writing progresses.
Advice from Drs. Yih and Nohadani.

21. OWL
• Use twice per week.
• Find a good tutor for you and stick to
him/her.
• Teach the tutor your research.
• Keep the corrected papers.
– It will be interesting to see the red marks on
your paper later on.
• Or, hire a private tutor.
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/ 21
22. Worries
• I only have one paper submitted. How
can I find a job after I graduate?
• Am I on the right track? What if my
current research is useless?
• Things aren’t moving, and clock is
ticking. Ah, I don’t know.
22
23. Small Wins
• Try to make small wins (e.g., making
your bed), which will give confidence
and will power.
• Don’t make your worries eat yourself.
23
24. Networking
• But, I’m quite embarrassed to say hello
to famous guys at a conference.
– Prepare a big research question to be
answered.
– The question will lead you to be connected.
• BTW, I cannot go to a conference, yet.
– Email them, then.
– One hypothesis, “The more famous a guy
is, the quicker his/her response is.”
