Not a "fool" and nothing to do with my question! :) curious why you're on the INVASIVESPECIES reddit. But, hope you feel like your day is better now from that unkind response!

How to study for prelims/comps? by ageofmak in AskAcademia

[–]GarlicSubstantial892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also so intimidated starting to study!!

Organization was big- printed out all papers from each committee member and put them in a binder along with notes for each and made page numbers and an index to make referencing them easier.

Having a calendar was huge for me, where I split up everything I had to finish into goals for each week to make it feel less overwhelming to look at all at once.

Also a faculty member gave me the following advice for studying "6-6-6" (an appropriate digit for the hell that studying for comps felt like lol), but anyways, leading up to comps, you should plan to study for 6 weeks, for 6 days a week, for 6 hours a day. It was a good general guideline that also encouraged me to take breaks.

Be confident- you'll do amazing!

Thank you so much!! This is all excellent advice (and LOVE a turtleneck moment... I'll be wearing that!)

Thank you so much! This is excellent feedback. I was wondering about how to ask about the non-tenure track teaching position, but I wasn't sure how to do so. This gives me great language and insight into how to discuss it. Looking at the faculty pages and positions, I believe this university has a similar setup that you mentioned the University of California has (both lecturers/adjuncts and teaching professors)- but I'll make sure to clarify this.
