Abstract:
|
Many US students find the first year of graduate studies in Statistics to be a big leap from finishing undergraduate studies. The workload, the expectations of the professors and stiff competition from international students are not what they are expecting. In this talk, we discuss strategies for aiding students in making this transition. A smoother transition in this first year of a Master's may also help lay ground work for retaining students for doctoral study.
