Graduate school is different.

Hello all MA students,

I found that a few students have managed to post some answers here on this blog. Perhaps you all need to work a little harder. I recommend you go to the website:
http://gradschool.about.com/cs/transitions/a/howgraddiff.htm
and read
How Graduate School Is Different from College


By Tara Kuther, Ph.D., About.com Guide
. You may get some ideas how others think about studying at a higher level. The assignment for all (Both TEFL and EC) is to conclude how studying at graduate level is different from when you were doing your first degree, and give me at least 3 main things that graduate students should do in order to graduate. I already gave you a website that might give you some ideas. You may also read from other sources or even add your own and post your answers/ opinions on this blog as soon as you can. How soon, how often and how well you respond to the questions or assignments in this blog is of course a part of your performance. Please worker harder.
