ABSTRACT

By now, you have decided on attending a graduate school, enrolled, and maybe even have completed your first year of classes. Your schedule for graduation seems to be on track and maybe you have a few ideas for your thesis research. As a student, you wouldn’t have made it this far without some organizational skills mastered, and definitely as a professional with a full-time job, you have some tried and true techniques for organizing your work life. But graduate studies and research, if you are like most people, should be unlike anything you’ve experienced before, and a question that you might have is how to manage all of the things that go into successful research. This chapter will help with organizing your graduate research.
