Category: Performance

Graduate school is stressful, difficult, and often overwhelming. Performance in graduate school hinges on many factors, not all of which were taught in your undergraduate programs. From overcoming test anxiety to increasing your work efficiency, to improving your reading speed, these articles will give you the secrets, tips, and strategies to improve your performance in graduate school.

Tackling some of the biggest challenges that graduate students face in completing their master’s or Ph.D., Dr. Cristie Glasheen teaches you how to perform better and more efficiently to produce excellent results, faster, and with less stress.

Learn simple habits that can boost the quality and speed of your work. Learn where to apply your best efforts and where you can relax and still perform well. Learn how to focus your efforts on what’s important and know what is fluff so you can stop wasting time and energy and get the most out of your degree.

While graduate school is never easy, it is possible to enjoy the process, maintain your love of learning, and complete your degree with your sanity (mostly) intact.
