Grad school
Grad school covers US master’s degrees, PhDs and MBAs. Lumi helps you keep the theory and vocabulary of your program.
In short
US graduate studies after a bachelor’s include master’s degrees, doctorates (PhD) and professional programs such as the MBA. Master’s programs are shorter and course-based, while PhDs mix coursework, qualifying exams and research. Assessment varies, with assignments, written exams, presentations and, for PhDs, qualifying exams and a dissertation. The content depends on your program.
What goes on your cards
In grad school you read a lot. Put definitions, theoretical frameworks, key authors with their main idea and your field’s methods on cards. For a qualifying exam, one card per paper or theory, with one sentence on what it shows. Lumi helps you keep present what you have already read.
A study rhythm
Keep a short, regular pass going all term, not only before finals. For a qualifying exam, start months ahead and see each idea several times, at gaps that grow longer (Rawson and Dunlosky, 2011).
