Content organized from the network

About reading

1. Many researchers spend more than half of their time reading. At the beginning of two years of graduate students, try to read about your topic textbooks and journal articles in your spare time.

2. Learn about topic's most important magazine. Go to the library every year to skim through the technical reports that researchers have done over the past year.

3. Don't read every piece of paper in detail. The first step is to see where the interest is. The order is abstract,table of contents, conclusion section and introduction. If there is no discovery, then let it go. The second step, once you find out where you're interested, see what the paper has good stuff. This is often different from person to person, perhaps a good point for you is not the author's focus. The third step, reread the whole article, judge its value.

4. Read with questions. "How can I use it?" "Does the author's claim stand Up to scrutiny?" If...... What will happen? "Clarify the author's motivations, make a choice of reasons, assumptions and suggested directions."

5. Programming at any time. See paper's Statement of idea, do simulation.

6. If someone handed you a paper, ask them why they recommended it. Perhaps in their minds, some of the idea that they think is useful to you is already in the spring, and you are always unintelligible.

About networking

1. Join some forums and email lists that you think are active.

2. If you talk to people in other fields, you hear him say, "Have you ever read such a book?" "Then" the book is not borrowed and cannot be read.

3. Find yourself interested in paper, send you the feeling that you might be interested in your colleagues, tell them where you are interested, and you may benefit as well.

4. Look at the paper you're reading on your colleague's desk and ask them why, which is much more efficient than checking the library yourself.

5. Write out your idea's draft, or your paper, and distribute it to coworkers you think might be interested, including your boss, and ask for their comments.

6. Discuss as much as possible with people in different fields.

7. Do reference log. This may be through the tree chart, you will draw the citation rate of the current occupy this hill of the group of big guys.

8. When attending a meeting, remember to bring your business card and introduce a way to remember your name. Perhaps you will see that most of the paper are boring and silly, so your purpose in meeting is to meet different people. They will send you messages, invite you to talk, and give you a summer job. It was easy to know them and approached them and said, "I'm very interested in your paper." "Then ask a question.

9. Don't stay in your lab in the summer and go out and meet new people. They may show you another way of looking at things differently. Find a way to summer job and ask the graduates who are looking for a job.

About the relevant fields

1. Choose a Postgraduate course in this field.

2. Read a Bible in this field.

3. Do you know the best magazine in the field?

4. Do you know the leaders in this field and their killer stunts? Read the weapon spectrum.

5. Check out the bulletin board in this area to see the latest announcement. If you can, find a beautiful woman or a handsome guy.

6. Start by looking at the department of your own school, Tun.

7. Never forget math before you can still eat. Don't just be an audience, find a best friend to force you to do the problem with a gun.

8. Ask yourself a question: "If I knew X, wouldn't the problem be a little easier?" If the answer is yes, go to 1.

About notes

A captain without a logbook is remiss.

1. No matter how rubbish you think you are now, give it an epitaph.

2. The time has come to give a possible solution to the problem and to test your intuition!

3. Summarize the reference that arouse your interest and magnetic to the library.

4. Sometimes, I'll read your notes, never do the ruthless Lang.

5. Organize your notes according to the format of title, abstract, section headings, fragments of text, even if you're not going to publish it, or quickly change your mind.

About Project

1. Know what to do

2. Open your mouth, and don't expect to build a paper on it. Solve the practical problem first, think simple.

3. Make a prototype. It is especially important for EE students, and good idea is produced in the experiment.

4. Use tools to stand on the shoulders of giants.

5. Collaborate. Work with others to make others happy to work with you.

Summarize

method is not too difficult to find things, the problem will always be solved.
