i need to set up a post for teaching while in grad school honestly . obviously i was on the masters' level but do you know i was never a grader ONCE for any of the six terms i taught lol T_T
LUCKILY did not have to set the course up from scratch (i just populated it w my specific files) but all the attendance, grading, and teaching was on me .... so a little bit more involved than i would have ever anticipated (especially bc 4/6 of those terms, i was teaching 40+ people at once)
so maybe i'll do that, bc a lot of what i read beforehand didn't prepare me as much as i had hoped
what kind of differences did you find between linguistics undergrad and linguistics grad school? i’m considering a master’s because i really love studying linguistics but im also terrified because other than “it’s harder than undergrad” i haven’t a clue what to expect
1. definitely more reading involved . and you won’t be able to READ like you did in undergrad . skim, skim, skim ! i actually learned how to do that in one of my last undergrad ling courses, and it helped me so much ... some weeks we would have around 70 pages to inhale for a 250 word write up like ... yeah that’s not worth it lol
2. idk if it’s HARDER? it took me a couple weeks to feel out how my profs would grade me on the graduate level, but it wasn’t more difficult to me, just different. you spend a lot of time in undergrad regurgitating and summarizing, but graduate school is about analysis ! what is the author saying with this piece (relating to other work), how does this fit into current thinking, any flaws to this point of view, what do YOU think of this? and so on . your assignments and work feel a lot more personalized, and you start developing your own linguist ‘voice’.
3. you aren’t 100% a student anymore. if you are a TA/RA, well now you’re an instructor/researcher too (a PROFESSIONAL) .... you learn how to carry yourself as a colleague (rather than just a classmate) .. navigating the politics of the grad student lounge (keep your mouth shut and ears open lol). im pretty chill with my cohort, but i do know when to be more ‘official’. you’ll learn more about that balance in grad school.
4. there is no more handholding . not a lick of handholding . if you want to do something, you have to do it ! no one is going to try to convince you too hard to go after what you want ... grad school is a lot more freeform in terms of the paths you can take, and you have a lot more responsibility for how that develops. it’s daunting, but also very exciting ! be brave enough to try out different things, and also decisive enough to choose what works BEST for you in the end.
i hope this can give you some insight into what to expect!
{This is super obvi, but I'll add anyways for anon} there's more experimental activity. You might be doing term papers that are like lit reviews, but more term papers require data collection, lab assisting / RA (if applicable) and of course the thesis. You need to get comfortable with soliciting and collecting data
hi ! I’ve been following your blog for quite some time and I have to say that you’ve inspired me to look into linguistics, particularly as a point of reflection for Indonesian (its my 2nd native language) and its many dialects. Although I don’t particularly intend to pursue it academically, I was wondering on the practicalities of being a linguist? Are you enjoying the courses your institution provide or is it more individual learning? I myself am thinking of applying for a PhD in Sociology in 2022 😬🤞🏽 anyway I hope you’re enjoying your day so far!
Hello!! That’s so nice to hear :-]
Indonesian and its variants have so much going, I’m sure that would be a blast to look at, just as a hobby, or academically.
First, I’ll preface this with saying that you don’t need to be enrolled in a linguistics program in order to ‘do linguistics’. 70% of what I have learned has come from my OWN studying, on my own time.
My courses were okay, more so because I really enjoyed some of my professors, and have known them for years. You’re talking to the resident “I loathe academia” linguist, though. The one mind-blowing class I had was on endangered languages--I do not enjoy technical studies as much in class; prefer to learn on the fly.
But honestly, being a linguist is just being a scientist. I code, I read (technical articles and non-technical blogs/magazines/tweets), I deal with APA formatting, lol. Because I am into sociolinguistics (more specifically--sociophonetics), I am really engaged with the communities I study (my own!), and I am not holed away in a dusty old office reading decades-old research 24/7. My studies are very current, to the point that there’s not a lot of literature out there!
And, you don’t even need to be a linguist to work on linguistics based projects for research. A research team that I’m apart of has folks from completely different colleges working together. :-] Linguistics is used everywhere, no need to restrict yourself.
Again though, just being a scholar on my own time is fun enough (which is why I have been running this blog for so long--and anticipate moving it to a different form soon). I haven’t needed a graduate degree to talk about linguistics, to talk with other linguists, and I still don’t!
I am having a fantastic day, and hope you are too!
if i dont go to grad school right after finishing my bachelors then what do i do about finding people to write me letters of recommendation?? like all the programs im looking at want me to get LoRs from linguists but if im not immediately going to grad school then where am i going to find ppl to write those?

hello!! i just saw the other gap year anon and i was curious -- i'm an undergrad planning on taking a gap yr after i graduate and i'm worried that it'll be hard to get letters of rec for grad school, since i will have been 'absent' for a yr from my profs' minds. did you run into that problem or was that not an issue? thank you so much for your time! & congrats on getting into your dream school!!
hi !
i did not run into that issue (my gap year came from me graduating early, i applied no differently from someone who graduated in the spring)!
what i’ve heard people do is tell their professors (who they have close relationships / good grades in classes with) about their plans, ask questions about navigating gap years and what to do to prepare for grad school in that time, and ask if they would be willing to write the student a strong letter of recommendation in a year or two.
OR
i’ve heard about students keeping in touch with professors during their gap years (usually because they’re doing research / something related to the field), so that they stay on the professor’s mind, then asking for a letter when they’re ready to reply.
you’ll be surprised at how often professors remember students in great detail (the ones that make effort to be present in class, and come to office hours / do research with them / work on projects)! i haven’t had a class with one of my former professors in over two years (and before january, hadn’t spoken with her in a year), but she was still talking about undergrad work i had completed with her, lol!
Hey there! I’m a freshman undergrad (also black, also somewhat interested in sociolinguistics) and I was thinking of going into academia. Do you mind talking more about this? What sucks about it? 😥
hi! congrats on starting your college journey :-]
i’m just severely burnt out from teaching online for the past 11 months. i miss seeing my students face to face (sans mask and distancing ... hyflex sucks so bad from the instructor perspective), and being able to build a bond with my classes.
it doesn’t help that this whole situation wasn’t revealed to me (as a TA) until the week before the semester started, and there’s hardly any contingency plans in place :/ teaching and doing my own work was ‘difficult’ (my first semester of grad), but it’s honestly not that bad?
i just prefer not being free labor, and getting to sink more of my time into my own studies and research.
it’s not the teaching itself, it’s all the red tape and stupid university procedures i have to deal with on a regular basis lol!
i would hope things would be way back to normal by the time you’re thinking of graduate school! :-]
hi Julia! This is probably a weird question but I was wondering how much of your undergrad science classes do you need to remember? I’m taking all stem classes this quarter but I’m specifically worried about biology, I know stem classes are usually based off what you learned in the previous class but how much do they expect us to remember? Do people usually revise before they go onto the next class in the bio/chem sequence? thank you!! :)
Hello anon! Not a weird question at all, but a most excellent one that I’m sure everyone who went through, or are currently going through, college has wondered multiple times.
The long answer is: it depends, so here are some different scenarios where retaining what you learned previously (or at least when you should keep your notes and exams, maybe even your textbook if you really found it useful) would be super helpful:
Directly connected classes broken into 2 parts: For example, you will definitely need to remember what you learned in Ochem 1 when you take Ochem 2. These are classes that are only separated because of time-restraints, but most definitely are taught in a continuous manner.
Classes taught by the same professor: They’ll be more likely to connect the information taught from one class to the next.
Higher level classes: aka when you finally finish your gen ed requirements and actually start “specializing” in your major.
Anything required for other aspects of your life/career goals, like for standardized tests, “real world” situations like labs, etc.
That being said, most of these classes do (or at least should) all start off with an Introduction/Review lecture to get everyone back up to speed and on the same page, since professors don’t always assume students all took the same exact prerequisite classes right before (eg. some may have transferred from other colleges, or are coming back from a gap, or took the prereq but the professor wasn’t a good teacher, etc). In addition, because new discoveries are happening constantly in the field of biology (and a lot of STEM), some information you learned from a few years ago may be out-dated or false, and so a brief review of the newest findings is always pertinent in bio. Therefore, there’s always an overlap--even briefly--of knowledge covered in previous classes with the current class.
And regarding how much you need to retain: as the years go on and you specialize more and more, each class you take should build upon the knowledge of the previous class like a microscope lens as you “zoom in” to the finer details. Here’s an example: in your Intro to Bio course, you’ll learn that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. But then in the next Bio course one level up, you’ll learn why that is, and dive more into the specifics of cellular respiration. And then in the next Bio course, you may learn more about what happens when mitochondrion dysfunction happens and what diseases are associated with that. Therefore, you just need to remember enough from the previous class so you’re not completely lost when it’s time to dive into the newer specifics.
You also don’t need to remember every little detail--just to the point that your learning curve is significantly less steep. In other words, you just need to remember enough to a) recognize something is familiar and b) know where and how to find out more information. This part also holds true for the rest of our lives too. For example, I don’t remember every single detail of every single cancer-related protein in existence, but I remember enough from my grad school classes that all it takes is a quick wikipedia search for me to review the info and go “oh right”. We always know more than we think :) And as I said for bio, the field is always evolving as new discoveries come to light, and so sometimes it’s ok to not have a rock solid memory of certain details.
Another great resource to find all this out for any specific classes are TAs and/or previous students. You can also stop by your professor’s office hours in the beginning of each semester for a brief chat on what topics to brush up on.
I hope that shines a light on things! Good luck with your classes :)
I have to start working on my thesis and other research and shit and I just feel like I'm falling behind and stuck in a rut productivity and inspiration wise, and the lack of routine with covid is making it a lot worse. Do you have any tips or tricks on how to deal? Thank you!!
oooo this is relatable, i hit this point in about mid july and i wanted everything to be over!! some advice/tips i can give are:
1. set a schedule for yourself and try your hardest to stick to it! and put it in writing (in a planner, etc) so then you’re more likely to stick to it. share this schedule with close friends or family (see point #2)
2. ask a friend to hold you accountable! so share your schedule with them and say “hey, check on me at 2:30pm to make sure I’ve started working on my thesis for the day”. my friend destiny and i do this often; we send each other our to-do list for the day and then send updates at set times (12:30pm, 3:30pm, 6:30pm)
3. i’d suggest only picking about 2-3 things to focus on per day. if you try to do a little bit of everything in one day, it can feel overwhelming. so like mondays and tuesdays, you only focus on your thesis and research topic A. on wednesdays and thursdays, you focus on classes A and B, etc.
4. when you’re feeling tired, learn to rest and not to quit. listen to your body and your brain! if you’re just not feeling it, take a 20 minute break and go for a walk, or watch an episode of something on Netflix.
i hope you know that you’re doing great and that you should give yourself the grace you give others! we’re in unprecedented times and it’s completely normal to feel this way. productivity/success might just look different this season, but as long as you’re trying your best, that’s all that really matters. feel free to inbox me with any more questions you may have! (i do have two afternoon classes today tho so it might take a minute for me to respond)
Here are some graphics I made earlier this summer for an Undergraduate Research program I am helping run through my university’s office for undergraduate research! I put together some informational pages about my personal experience doing research (which was generalized a little because I’ll be presenting to students in a wide range of majors). Next week I’ll be leading a Q&A panel and group discussion!
a question for all the gradblrs: What is the difference between undergraduate and graduate writing? How did you find yourself bridging that gap when you started graduate school?
definitely less ‘stumbling’ through words... i have a better grasp of literature and how to ‘sound’ because i’ve spent countless hours poring (pouring? lol) over articles and books and textbooks! i think the familiarity of how folks write in my field is what has improved my academic writing the most.
also had the benefit of a super anal advisor who would send me dozen of small corrections, made sure I followed APA constantly (my other professors didn’t care), and really stayed on me with my writing. if you do NOT have an advisor like that, i would seek out help from your writing center (or ask your professor(s) for assistance). i still live on purdue owl’s style guide site after 6 years.
forgot to say this yesterday but ... officially secured all my letter writers for my applications!
it was a good conversation too ... talked a little about my just ... confusion with some parts of the process because i’m the first one in my family to go for a phd, and the first in almost twenty years to even be in grad school ... so there’s not really anyone i can talk to about those specifics .
so my writer gave me some good advice for just general navigation (affirming that ... uh YEAH they seem really interested in you and that’s a PLUS, which is funny bc he’s the one who wanted me to apply to fifty eleven schools two years ago sdjfjksdfjkds), and also an idea of what ‘the phd’ means for me as a person and what i want to do
we also discussed some differences between academia and industry, and i was preparing to be shot down for not being sold on academia (obvs) but he was really understanding about it, and offered some good plans for deciding on what direction to take!
you know how i know academia a sham? bc y’all still writing out entire sentences and reading off your PowerPoint even tho every class ‘teaches you how to present’
if you putting an encyclopedia on the screen what i need you for?
be sure you’re passionate about what you want to study, because you’ll need a deep love to carry you through an intense program (that can range from 1 year to 7+, depending on what you’re studying) where you will sometimes have some bitter lows
related, don’t go to grad school just because the job market blows and you’re not sure what to do. you’re better off taking a couple years to gain experience and skills at a job that you can then transfer to postgrad academic work later
talk to a lot of people before you decide to go somewhere. talk to professors and potential advisors, talk to administrative staff, and try to talk to current or recent students. you’ll have a better idea of what it’s like, professional connections for when you start, and possibly new friends
continuing from the above point, don’t go to or apply to somewhere where it’s hard to get information about the program or that people aren’t responsive. if they’re not trying to reach out when you’re a potential student, they’re unlikely to support you once you’re there
be willing to communicate! talk to your advisor and professors if you’re having a hard time or are finding things challenging. if they’re worth their salt, they’ll help you out and provide solid suggestions.
communication is key in classes as well. far more than in undergrad, participation counts. you have to speak up. a large part of grad school is to prepare you for your profession, so you need to be able to contribute to discussions.
One time I asked a gradblr about what their favorite comps book was and I got fucking ripped to shreds for having the audacity to assume they enjoyed any part of the comps experience. And I get it—they were traumatized by the experience, but at the same time it doesn’t have to be that way.
I just want to say that my blog is a safe space to ask about comprehensive exams. I won’t get upset at you for being curious about the process or wanting to know about fields or books that I’ve read or will read (I’m in the middle of the prep right now) or advisor interactions. I’m more than happy to share my experience.
Often times, comps feels like a process you aren’t allowed to know anything about until you’re in the middle of it. A time of suffering you aren’t allowed to share. That’s bullshit! Am I stressed? Yes. Am I enjoying myself? Also, YES. I’m learning so much! I’m revisiting old favorites and getting new ones! Are there problems with the process? Definitely, yes, but it doesn’t have to be so bad if grad students just spoke to each other about it.
Ask me about comps, I promise I won’t bite! I might take a while to respond (I am a grad student after all), but I won’t be angry.
uh basically what i did to get recommendation letters secured for grad school + study abroad? this is like for ….anxious people lol? i researched for HOURS on how to actually go about getting recommendation letters….but there weren’t too many tips for the actual process, just ‘oh! get recs from professors who love you’ haha…
Before you even think of asking…
Do your research: Thinking about graduate school? scholarships? studying abroad? Fulbright? anything that you have to apply to, you’re going to be asked for recommendation letters. this most definitely did NOT occur to me, so I probably added more stress to my plate than I needed to. But yeah….you can’t just get in on your own merit for most things. You need people to vouch for you in the form of rec letters, and most times your applications won’t even be considered without them. PLUS when you DO ask for a recommendation letter, you want to show that you have done some research into whatever you are applying for, and share some of that information with your potential recommender.
Prepare statements of purpose and academic CVs: In order for your recommender to write a letter, they need some background on, well, you! Even if you talk to them often, it’s still nice to have your specific ideas and goals about the program ready and laid out. Plus, they may not know of all your academically-related accomplishments, so detail them in that CV! It’s basically a resume in a different format, but if you get it done early, your recommender may even go over it and send you back suggestions.
Who to ask….
Quality of your recommender: Honestly, you can’t just get any old recommendation letter and hope that’ll fly. Oftentimes when recommendation letters are provided as a side thing (at least for college), they can be pretty basic and impersonal. It’s best to get a letter from someone who has had 1-1 conversations with you where you shared about who you are, not necessarily just what you do. That can add a lot to your letter.
So many options….: It’s actually really okay to ask if your potential recommender feels they can write a strong, POSITIVE letter for you. You don’t want a petty supervisor (or someone with which you butted heads or got a less than stellar grade in their class) writing your letter. If they can’t immediately say yes, then they won’t be golden. Once you weed out the so-so choices, you can focus on the strong candidates.
HOW to ask...
Building rapport: it comes to a point where you really do have to put yourself out there if you want your professor to remember your face. I’ve gone to events and seen professors (future, former, or current) present, and had little small talk convos just to say ‘hey! I’m your student!’. just walking around campus I might run into one, so that’s always a good time to ask questions about things in general (I would save assignment related questions for office hours!). I always email my bilingual professor every week because he doesn’t post the assignment slots ahead of time, and let him know ‘hey! I’ve finished my assignment and want to submit’! Not only is that helping him keep things running, but he’s realizing ‘wow…she’s always finishing her assignments early’. bonus points! I usually spend half an hour in office hour sessions, talking about school, asking questions about their research, going off on tangents …it’s okay to treat your professor as a mentor, they want to see you succeed, so show that you are putting that effort in! It’s also a good chance to practice your language skills with your language professors…
Schedule a talk ahead of time: When you actually ask for rec letters… do NOT just drop in! Show a level of professionalism by emailing your professors ahead of time and asking if you can speak with them regarding grad school/study abroad program, and ask them a question. :-] That’s what I did anyway lol! I didn’t ask for my rec letter officially over email, but face to face.
Set them up: Discuss the program(s) you are interested in, and give them enough detail so that they have a general idea of what you want to get them involved in. Don’t just sit down and ask ‘Can you write me a rec letter?’ but show that you are prepared! If you need to, provide them with pamphlets now.
Just ask!: Okay, now you can literally ‘just ask!’ When I had to ask for rec letters from one of my professors, my CURRENT professor was in his office just chatting with him! That was a bit nerve-wracking, but I just spit out my request before my anxiety took over (I totally wanted to run out of the office). It didn’t really matter that we had an ‘audience’, as he accepted with no problem!
What to do after…
APPLY!: Now that you’ve asked, you have to follow through! Start working on your application if you haven’t done so already, keep researching the process, and keep your recommenders up to date with deadlines, reminders, and additional information you discover. For me, I have to keep my professors up to date with my writing samples, statements of purpose, application process, and deadlines for my study abroad program. Whatever I need to know, they need to know!
um, I hope this is helpful! I can’t really cover the ‘okay I’ve applied and they’ve sent their letters in’ parts because…that hasn’t happened yet! I only asked two weeks ago, but I’ll definitely add onto this post once I can talk about the end results. :-]
lunetudes
UPDATE!:
Sending in applications: Do them sooner rather than later! I kept pushing things off until the end of the semester, rather than getting them in right after midterms, and that added a lot of unnecessary stress to those last couple of weeks. Don’t be like me!
Have those thank you cards ready!: The last week of school, though my application wasn’t quite finished, I started leaving thank you notes around for my professors. I gave one to my favorite professor right before our class started and he turned BRIGHT RED and was so flustered he couldn’t even say anything. It was adorable. When I went to his office hours later, he had my card up on his shelf, and said I caught him by surprise. Thank your professors! They do so much, and a lot of the time it’s hardly acknowledged. Take a bit of time and write something down for them.
Prepare for the worst: So….one of my recommenders hasn’t updated me about the second recommendation letter they promised me….even after I sent reminders and the deadline. The application is a bit time-sensitive, so I was really stressed finals week. Sometimes…things just don’t work out! But, that means thinking on your feet.
Plan B!: However, one of my new (this semester) professors helped me edit my research writing sample, so I thought I would ask them, spur of the moment, to write a recommendation letter for me. In the past, I would feel absolutely horrible about asking anyone to do anything, but my future was kinda at stake? I ran over to their office in between finals, and they said with a huge smile that ‘of course I’ll write you a letter! especially with your experience, you’re great. :D’ I told them it had to be ready as soon as possible, and they agreed to that, so we’ll see how that works out!
Honestly, I feel better about asking for help in the future. Like, I’ve accomplished and a lot and I shouldn’t feel bad about asking people to vouch for me. I’m realizing that having a strong support network is more than just cheerleaders, but people who can help you advance and eventually accomplish your goals.
my third recommender came through for me, and my application went in early! I’m so grateful that I had a back up. my second recommender eventually got back to me and apologized for missing my attempts to remind them, but I’m glad I didn’t wait for them to hopefully respond one day. plan b, plan c, plan d….run through every single scenario is my takeaway from this.
Hi I’m sorry for asking this, but do you ever get impostor syndrome? And how do you deal with it? I can’t help as I’m opening myself up to people, but feel that I don’t deserve the things that I get and sooner or later people will discover that I am actually not worthy and I am actually just talentless and unintelligent
I’m actually dealing with that right now, I’m so sorry to hear you’re struggling with these conflicting feelings about your own value and feeling that you are a fraud. :-[
It can be difficult to actually receive praise or be in a certain position (due to merit) because it feels like 1) people are just humoring you and have no intention of standing behind their word and/or 2) somehow your accomplishments aren’t actually as great as you hoped they would be.
In my situation, half of me is like “WOW, one of the top schools in the us is eager to have me and willing to help me apply to its program and they’re making it easy for me and everything is lining up how could this not be everything I have wanted and been working toward for *checks calendar* six years?”
And then the other half (the impostor) is screaming “WOW you really think they aren’t basically wining and dining ten other students and feeding everyone the same promises of funding and lab work so that they can pull the rug out from under you because you’re coming from a little known school in your field and you don’t have the same amount of advanced courses and you haven’t gotten any recognition or awards for grad work in a year and—“
It’s irrational, I tell myself. Complete BS. For the thousand things I do well, or the hundred things that go right, or the ten things that are just as expected, one mistake is blown up in my head, and regret sinks in. It sucks, doesn’t it?
Even with those thoughts that you deal with however, they have to be wrong, don’t they? How can we erase all of the hard work we’ve done? The time that we’ve put into studying and projects? The effort that we’ve placed into presentations and papers and assignments? The compliments that we HAVE received from supervisors, classmates, random strangers, friends, family, and surely those few moments where we have pat ourselves on the back?
Impostor syndrome sucks because we know that relatively few people have the opportunities that we receive, and somehow we chalk that up to us not being deserving of them for xyz reasons. But you ARE here. And it’s not just one person making the decision to let you in (and being fooled). People are in agreement that you DO deserve the accomplishments you’ve made.
I don’t have any real advice for now because I’m still struggling with this (and have been mentally stressed for a couple of weeks—even with all the things I do to allievate it). That’s okay to struggle, everyone will feel like it. But if there’s one thing that I’ll always believe?
You are your own best warrior. Fight for yourself and your right to be where you are. You have to be in your corner (even if it feels fake or wrong). If you support yourself, others will have no choice but to fall in line, because clearly you know something they don’t. :-]
It’s okay to acknowledge those thoughts that say you don’t deserve to be in your position, but that doesn’t mean they’re RIGHT. even as I’m kind of battling with those voices in my own head, I refuse to ever speak bad about myself. What’s the harm of believing that you are capable of being an incredible student, and one who has earned their place?
