吃喝攻略|博导神总结：读博失败的10个“作死”大法！切勿容易尝试( 五 )


而有了博士学位 ， 你就犹如有了终身的弹药供给 。
有的导师会给你一个可以参考的研究课题清单 ， 假如他们同意的话 ， 你可以在里面挑一个感兴趣的而且最轻易的尝尝 。
但是要记住：你的博士学位是什么并不重要 ， 重要的是你能拿到一个 。
博士生活生计对思维的练习远远赛过你选择了一个什么样的课题 。
A Ph.D. seems like a major undertaking from the perspective of the student. It is. But, it is not the final undertaking. It"s the start of a scientific career.A Ph.D. does not have to cure cancer or enable cold fusion. At best a handful of chemists remember what Einstein"s Ph.D. was in. Einstein"s Ph.D. dissertation was a principled calculation meant to estimate Avogadro"s number. He got it wrong. By a factor of 3.He still got a Ph.D.
A Ph.D. is a small but significant contribution to human knowledge.Impact is something students should aim for over a lifetime of research.Making a big impact with a Ph.D. is about as likely as hitting a bullseye the very first time you"ve fired a gun.
Once you know how to shoot, you can keep shooting until you hit it.Plus, with a Ph.D., you get a lifetime supply of ammo.Some advisors can give you a list of potential research topics. If they can, pick the topic that"s easiest to do but which still retains your interest.It does not matter at all what you get your Ph.D. in.A ll that matters is that you get one. It"s the training that counts--not the topic.
曲解了真正的里程碑
10Miss the real milestones
大部分学校都要求学生完成课程设计、课程合格、开题呈文、论文答辩和毕业论文 。 这些都是写在纸面上的要求 。
实际上 ， 真正的里程碑是能发表三篇像样的、和你研究课题（大致）相关的好论文 。
课程设计和课程合格的机制设置是为了能挽回在招生时的失误 。 一位学生假如发表了论文就证实了她每科顺利过关是货真价实的 。
一旦一位学生发表了两篇好论文 ， 而且她也能使答辩委员会相信她即将发表第三篇 ， 那她就可以开题了 。
如果一位学生发表了三篇学术论文 ， 鉴于她可以持续的发表具有一定价值的呈文并获得同行的认同 ， 那么她就可以满怀信心的参加答辩了 。 假如她的这些文章都围绕一个主题 ， 又有论题 ， 还把她发表过的东西都装订成册 ， 那她连毕业论文都弄好了 。
我幻想去买一个产业订书机 ， 把发表的三份学术期刊装订在一起 ， 并把它称作“答辩天书”（The Dissertator） 。
当然 ， 三篇发表论文远不足以获得教职——哪怕是在一个烂学校 。 不外 ， 对拿到博士学位来说 ， 够了！
Most schools require coursework, qualifiers, thesis proposal, thesis defense and dissertation. These are the requirements on paper. In practice, the real milestones are three good publications connected by a (perhaps loosely) unified theme.Coursework and qualifiers are meant to undo admissions mistakes. A student that has published by the time she takes her qualifiers is not a mistake.
Once a student has two good publications, if she convinces her committee that she can extrapolate a third, she has a thesis proposal.Once a student has three publications, she has defended, with reasonable confidence, that she can repeatedly conduct research of sufficient quality to meet the standards of peer review. If she draws a unifying theme, she has a thesis, and if she staples her publications together, she has a dissertation.
