Academic Trax

Welcome to the Academic Trax, where two junior faculty members provide expert advice on topics beyond their expertise! In Episode 10, the GEARS duo banters about their ideal graduate student. They discuss particulars of graduate student applications that give useful (or completely useless) information about the student in question. Joshua also has a strong message for poorly motivated graduate students, while Jon gets jaded about the whole process at times.  (Note: there is a bit of lag at times and it was difficult to fix during editing. Thanks for understanding.) Let us know what you think. We can be reached at www.academictrax.com or via email at academictrax@gmail.com. Jon can be reached on twitter @profgear
