Now to praise for Mark and Dans prior workshops!
Previous praise
"Most of the information is generally not available to grad students easily and it's a learning process for everyone that takes a lot time. This helps bridge the gap, which I'm really grateful for."
"Well-organized workshop and extremely helpful for graduate students who are serious about their academic success."
"I found this seminar extremely helpful. I am currently writing a paper...and I was very unsure where to start. I feel like this was genuinely the 'handholding' I needed to be able to organize my project."
"I will definitely be referring back to my notes from today in the future...it was interesting and engaging all the way through. An overall amazing experience."
"This was excellent - it was informative and I appreciate how honest it was about the writing/publishing process"
"As a first-year doctoral student, I found this workshop to be invaluable. Navigating the rigors of research, without this hidden curriculum, would have been more difficult. Understanding the process early on gave me an overwhelming sense of confidence. Every student should rush to attend this workshop."
"It was a great workshop. I wish I would have attended sooner/earlier in my career. Regardless, I am highly motivated and feel ready to take the challenge head on."

"Mark and Dan bring such great energy to accompany their expertise and knowledge and kept the material engaging all day."
